gpgconf: Make gpg/keyserver option available again
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Kleopatra uses gpgconf for configuring gpg. gpg uses the keyserver option from gpg.conf if it is set, but gpg 2.3 does no longer make this option available via gpgconf. This makes it impossible for Kleopatra (or any other program relying on gpgconf for configuring the GnuPG suite) to change the OpenPGP keyserver if the keyserver option is set in gpg.conf.

Because an existing setting in gpg.conf overrides the keyserver set in dirmngr.conf
