QGpgME: Update defaultkeygenerationjob and use create-key API
Closed, WontfixPublic
Actions

Description

The defaultkeygenerationjob in qgpgme uses outdated defaults and the old API with the parameter file.

Instead it should use the create key API and let GnuPG decide what the defaults are. This is important because nowadays the defaults are configurable e.g. for VSD its 3072 bit RSA while for Gpg4win it is cv25519.

Kleopatra doesn't rely on the defaults in the library and other users shouldn't either. I would kill defaultkeygenerationjob. And it's use in newkeyapprovaldialog should be fixed, e.g. by using QuickJob::startCreate().

Even more shockingly, there's a copy of the job in libkleo.

Nevermind we clarified in chat that we would instead deprecate this API.

Well I guess T6805 is now the followup ticket that I did not create when I just closed this issue as Wontfix. Ingo can you take T6805 and do what you wrote in your last message here?
