I don't think you need unstable versions of gnupg and pinentry. I'm using stable versions and they work ok. gpg-agent OTOH is still ~x86 masked I guess. > I am now trying to > setup gpg-agent and have followed documentation on gentoo site but the > problem is that even after setting the agent-startup.sh the way it > explains, the environment is not getting updated.

IIRC my installation was very simple. 1. emerge pinentry and gpg-agent 2. uncommented some lines from /usr/kde/3.4/env/agent-startup.sh and /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown/agent-shutdown.sh (as instructed). when I log into kde it starts gpg-agent automatically. 3. tweaked ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf with pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt no-grab default-cache-ttl 1800 4. make sure kmail was correctly configured to handle my gpg keys. regards, pedro venda. -- Pedro João Lopes Venda email: pjvenda at pjvenda org http://www.pjvenda.org
