Created attachment 678954 [details] 0001-Add-the-contrib-package.patch Description of problem: The upstream pcsc-lite-ccid tarball contains contributions which can be useful to fedora users (eg: RSA_SecurID_getpasswd which can read the RSA token from a plugged SecurID). I propose to distribute them in an additional (optional) package called pcsc-lite-ccid-contrib. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide - f18 A suggested patch as attachment.
Any news on this?
The change looks fine to me from a packaging point of view. Can you request commit access in pkgdb please, and I'll approve it? I think it should go to the master branch (rawhide/F19) only, unless you have a specific need for releasing an F18 update with this, of course. Ludovic, do you have any issues with Fedora distributing these?
No problem for me. These contribution are no more installed by the CCID driver. But I have no objection to provide them in a distinct package. Someone reported that he can't use RSA_SecurID_getpasswd with his RSA token. So maybe it is not working with "recent" version of the token. But if it works for you...
I know that my SecureID token doesn't work, but that's because RH requested that RSA not enable USB access to their tokens.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
