consider zipping a file to a user identified by their name, which has more than one part, separated by whitespace:
gpg-zip --create -o for-maria.zip.pgp -r 'Maria Cordozo' secrets/
This will fail with a cryptic error because of the way that gpg-zip collects $gpg_args into a single variable that then gets split back out again by the shell.
| rG GnuPG | |||
| rGba873216ff99 gpgtar: Add dummy option --tar | |||
That is not easy to fix in a shell script. I would prefer to get rid of gpg-zip or make it a simple wrapper around gpgtar like
#!/bin/sh exec gpgtar "$@"
The only problem I can see is that gpgtar does not support the option --tar. That can be easily solved by adding a dummy option --tar to gpgtar.
