daemon: Remove the GnuPG agent (52.36 KB, patch)

Description Stef Walter 2015-06-07 07:47:24 UTC 
Work has been done in GnuPG pinentry so that it will support prompting via gnome3 system modal dialogs, and optional caching of passphrases in gnome-keyring (via libsecret).

The incomplete GPG agent in gnome-keyring should be removed in favor of the upstream the GnuPG pinentry.

daemon: Remove the GnuPG agent

The GnuPG agent is incomplete and incompatible with many uses of
GnuPG 2.x.

There is a new pinentry that replaces this. It prompts via system
modal dialogs, and allows optional caching of passphrases.

Comment 3 Olav Vitters 2015-08-18 21:01:48 UTC 
I wrote an email to distributor-list to ensure everyone packages pinentry 0.9.5 with libsecret and gnome3 support.
