I could not reproduce such a failure either under any conditions.

In my debian buster pbuilder enviornment I got the following failure when packaging master (beta195):

With the build problem on Mac OS now fixed with d551cf9, barring any last minute issue I plan to do the actual release by the end of the day tomorrow (10 September).

If I understand correctly, the problem stems from the -module flag added to the LDFLAGS in commit dc2211179. It's that flag that instruct libtool to create a bundle (.so file) instead of a dynamically linked shared library (.dylib file). But that flag is needed to force automake to accept that the library is to be named scute instead of libscute (without that flag automake errors out, complaining that scute.la is not a standard libtool library name).

Given that 1.5 already had that problem, I would suggest to ignore that bug for the 1.6 release. We can work on that later.

I just checked that Scute builds cleanly on Slackware, Debian, and in a cross-compilation setup against Mingw32.

When the tests are run, Scute now contacts the agent intended for the tests instead of any agent running on behalf of the Jenkins user. And so the tests pass or skip appropriately.

All build artifacts are accessible

I see several problems here:

All build artifacts are accessible, e.g.: https://jenkins.gnupg.org/job/scute/ws/XTARGET/native/obj/tests/test-suite.log

OK, I pushed my fix into master.

The canonical repo is git://git.gnupg.org . We have not yet mirrored it at dev.gnupg.org.

Since there is no news for the last two weeks, I am wondering: am I the one blocking the situation here? Are you waiting for me to do something to make progress?

Yes, I am ready to accept write access to the Scute repository.

Justus, please apply the patches.

I think the best method to make sure Scute can always find the socket is to use gpg-connect-agent to ask for the socket: we call gpg-connect-agent 'GETINFO socket_name' /bye and read the reply.

This is ambiguous and the email is not mentioned. Given how old this is and
Niibe's opinion, I'm closing this issue.

I maintain scute in Debian. It works for me for years.
I suspect it was build time issue.

1.4.0 works, indeed. I didn't realize that was the latest version. The web page
is woefully out-of-date, but following the ftp link got me what I needed.

Scute 1.2.0 is very old. It should be fixed in 1.4.0.

Marcus, can you please look at it?
