Re: [Evolution] Evolution (1.5), GnuPG and gpg-agent



As some users have noticed (if they are running newpg aka gpg 1.9 devel
series (or is gpg-agent available for 1.0/1.2 also?)), if they have
enabled their gpg to use gpg-agent for passwd prompting, they'd get 2
passwd prompts - one from Evolution and one from gpg-agent, followed by
an error dialog about broken pipes.

Jeff, very cool. That will get rid of a (not so often asked) FAQ. ;)

I don't know for sure, if gpg-agent is available for current stable
versions. However, I assume this -- as this seems to be default
configuration on recent SuSE systems. [1]


Since I presume that anyone enabling gpg-agent in their gpg config
options probably has done so either because:

- they trust gpg-agent with their passwds more then they trust Evolution
(o/~ paranoia strikes deep... into your life it will creep o/~ --
Buffalo Springfield)

- for some other (presumably) good reason (another program needs it
perhaps?)

- distro default

...guenther


[1] Judging from the users systems I have told how to disable gpg-agent
in the past.
