Home-manager: Support for starting ssh-agent?

[wpcarro]

I cannot find anywhere in the home-manager codebase that supports starting ssh-agent.

I found options for configuring gpg-agent to emulate ssh-agent. For the past two days, I've experimented with this option, but for now I would rather use ssh-agent alone.

Does home-manager currently support users who want to use ssh-agent without gpg-agent?

No, I haven't heard of anybody working on ssh-agent support. I've used gpg-agent with SSH support for a long time now since I use gpg a lot anyway.

Thank you for informing me. I'll submit a PR to support ssh-agent and ensure that the options for enabling ssh-agent and gpg-agent are mutually exclusive.

I'd love this is you're still working on it! I assume you've seen the NixOS ssh-agent support.
