But luckily gpg has a solution for that: gpg-agent was designed to alleviate this problem. And signing-party contains information on how to use it in /usr/share/doc/signing-party/caff/README.gpg-agent cheers, Thijs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
