Package: gnupg2 Severity: wishlist GnuPG 2.1.0 beta 3 was released back in December:
http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gnupg.git;a=tag;h=refs/tags/gnupg-2.1.0beta3 Active development work continues on that branch. GnuPG 2.1 offers some nice cryptographic properties like key-isolation to within the agent, and has apparently been usable by at least wk for about a year: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2012-February/026573.html It would be nice to have 2.1 available within debian, even if it's just in experimental for the moment. I'd offer to help package it, but i'm not sure how the debian gnupg folks want to deal with multiple versions of gnupg in the archive. maintaining 2 at the moment (gnupg and gnupg2) already seems a bit unwieldy. adding a 3rd might be excessive. wk has also said that he would like to see gnupg in debian replaced by gnupg2 when 2.1 is available: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2012-January/026432.html (with the possible exception of the udeb) I'm filing this bug report as a tracker, and as a place to have this discussion recorded publicly. Any thoughts on the general direction to take this? --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnupg2 depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.1.2 ii gnupg-agent 2.0.18-2 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-8 ii libassuan0 2.0.3-1 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-1 ii libc6 2.13-26 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3 ii libgpg-error0 1.10-3 ii libksba8 1.2.0-2 ii libreadline6 6.2-8 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 Versions of packages gnupg2 recommends: ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.28-1.1 Versions of packages gnupg2 suggests: ii gnupg-doc <none> ii xloadimage 4.1-16.3 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
