Description:
The 'ssh-add' binary requires '/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass' when running in GUI mode. It automatically runs in GUI mode if no terminal is found, e.g. when a graphical SVN viewer tries to establish a SSH connection and the password should be entered. Steps to reproduce: bwalle@kopernikus ~ $ ssh-add < /dev/null ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/lib/ssh/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory Identity added: /home/bwalle/.ssh/identity (bwalle@hugo) |

Not sure if I want to close this or not, perhaps we could put at least one of these into extra. "make gnome-ssh-askpass2" works fine from the contrib directory.
Separate package (already in AUR) seems like the best way to me.
[alois@amilo ~]$ ssh-add < /dev/null
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
[alois@amilo ~]$
gnome-ssh-askpass2 works fine
Daenyth, if you're willing to do this in community can we call that the solution?
If nothing new comes to light by April 2010 bug day, I will close this as "won't implement", in favor of the separate package solution proposed.
