Description:
Monkeysphere fails to add GnuPG auth subkey to {gpg,ssh}-agent.

This has been reported @
- Monkeysphere: https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/2735
- Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=614897
- OpenSSH: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1869

A patch has been provided by Monkeysphere dev Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>:
- https://labs.riseup.net/code/attachments/download/211/let-ssh-add-read-from-fifos.diff
... and I have verified this to work.

Upstream (OpenSSH) dev Damien Miller states a similar bugfix is in -current,
and will be included in OpenSSH 5.9.
- https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1869#c4


In case you don't want to wait for v5.9, I've attached a patch for the PKGBUILD.


Additional info:
* package version: openssh 5.8p2-6

Steps to reproduce:
- Ensure there's an auth-capable subkey on your GnuPG keychain!
- run 'monkeysphere subkey-to-ssh-agent'
   ssh-add-fifo.patch (1.2 KiB)
This task depends upon

Since I have no indication that 5.9 is coming soon, I have made a patched version: http://dev.archlinux.org/~bisson/
Could you confirm that it fixes your problem?

Indeed it does.

(though I would've preferred dkg's patch instead of upstream's, but that's just nitpicking)

Thanks for the prompt response, truly exemplary!

Great; I'll push this to [testing].
