Both spice and spice-gtk seems to use libcacard as well. And gnome-boxes also has a configure flag to enable "smartcard support" (which seems to require the smartcard support from qemu and spice). http://www.spice-space.org/page/Features/SmartCardSupport > > On Fedora they have added a libcacard, a libcacard-dev and also a > > libcacard-tools package which ship a vscclient executable. > > Yeah. Quite dirty at that, as well.. ;) > > Is vscclient useful too? Should we package it separately? Not sure about that, is we want the lib to be multiarch I guess it's needed.
