I've been maintaining smartcard packages in pkgsrc (packaging system
which suppports many operating systems).  I am curious why this is a
separate package rather than just having support in the regular ccid
package.  Without an explanation, it seems obvious that support should
be merged so that one doesn't need to install different code to support
different readers.  (The answer should be on the acsccid page, since I
would expect everyone else who looks at this to have the same question.)

Also, it seems to support only two operating systems, which is a
regression from ccid, which intends to be portable.



Ludovic:

At

  http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid.html

you could add

NetBSD (pkgsrc)

The driver is available in pkgsrc as security/ccid.

Thanks,
