first run of gpg needs to just use the default config

Description

Description

the first time that gpg is run by the user (or an application that uses gpg for the user), gpg simply creates ~/.gnupg and then exits. It would be so much nicer if gpg didn't just exit, but rather continued to do what was requested of it.

if the problem is that it may be unsafe (I can't see how, but I'm no security expert), then perhaps a command-line option to either turn this behaviour on (or off, whichever) could be added?

Fix

Unknown

Release Note

Hmmm, we don't do this anymore since 1.2.0. Instead we print a warning if the newly created options file (gpg.conf) containst active options.

Event Timeline

No feedback - anyway fixed for quite some time
