bug: gpg-agent --version doesn't show the default scd

Hi.

The gpg-agent manpage claims:
--scdaemon-program filename
Use program filename as the Smartcard daemon. The default is
installation dependent and can be shown with the --version com‐
mand.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong,.. but mine seems not to show any info
about which scdaemon is used.

Cheers,
Chris.

The man page is wrong. To see the defaults use gpgconf:

$ gpgconf
gpg:GPG for OpenPGP:/usr/local/bin/gpg2
gpg-agent:GPG Agent:/usr/local/bin/gpg-agent
scdaemon:Smartcard Daemon:/usr/local/bin/scdaemon
gpgsm:GPG for S/MIME:/usr/local/bin/gpgsm
dirmngr:Directory Manager:/usr/local/bin/dirmngr

Salam-Shalom,

Werner

Ah... =)

Attached is a patch =)

Cheers,
Chris.

(http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2010-August/025689.html) I've
sent in recently,... is it going to be merged?

I doubt that. Maybe I go over the patches at some time and fix the
strings. But I won't apply them as they are. Frankly we would need
copyright assignments for such large patches (it doesn't matter that
this is "only" documentation).

Well of course they're not that important,... but I guess it's bad to
leave such things outdated, because at one point there'd be so much to
catch up that it's nearly impossible,

No problem,... just tell me what I have to sign or so...

Cheers,
Chrs.
