Yes this two-patch set is standalone.  Here is a gist:

A: change RSA_SIGN to PK_SIGN if client supports it (2 patches)
-  [Openvpn-devel,1/2] Add management client version
-  [Openvpn-devel,2/2] Prompt for signature using '>PK_SIGN' if the
client supports it

B: ecdsa signature via management (one patch)
- [Openvpn-devel,v3,2/3] Allow external EC key through --management-external-key
(patch 1 of this series already applied, patch 3 abandoned)

A is standalone, B needs A.

In retrospect, I should have just started a new series. The presence
of similar patches for cryptoapicert adds even more to the confusion.
Also getting patchwork to correctly identify v2 of a series would help
a bit. Its failing likely because of the [Openvpn-devel] in our
subject line; if so it could be fixed by a simple patch to patchwork.
