Upstream seems content to keep Evolution doing passphrase caching for now. However, once e-d-s is modified to use gpg2, it will no longer be able to do so. This is because gpg2 will *only* request passphrases via the gpg-agent; there is no longer any facility to input a passphrase directly into gpg2.
Aside from that though: I think the bug is still valid. Evolution should not handle sensitive information like passphrases itself: it is a large and complex piece of software. It is better to farm out handling of a user's passphrase to the gpg agent. -- gpg passphrase cached by evolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/92725 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
