eighthave,

Just migrated my #offline #gnupg and #ssh key setup to a new #smartcard. This only took about 8 hours whereas when I last did this in 2015, it took much longer. I guess this is a sign of process! But these things are still too painful. At least now, the software just works right out of #Debian.

@eighthave what Smartcard do you use? And do you have a backup one stored somewhere safe?

@eighthave FWIW, I wrote a simple/stateless CLI tool to provision and inspect #OpenPGP card devices:

https://codeberg.org/openpgp-card/openpgp-card-tools

I personally find it much easier to use than #GnuPG to import key material onto cards.

However, as far as I know, no efforts to package the tool for #Debian exist so far.

The tool is, however, packaged for #Arch Linux, #NixOS, and #Void Linux.

With all of that said: Totally agreed! These tasks are way harder than they should be, and I also hope for more progress.
