werner added projects to T5588: GnuPG 2.3.2 --disable-tofu --disable-sqlite unusable: Gentoo, gnupg (gpg23).

You could use --disable-keyboxd which should fix this. However, there will eventually be no more way to build w/o Sqlite and thus I would suggest not to allow disabling of sqlite.

werner added a comment to T5585: Passphrase File Carriage Return New Line \r\n Issue in Windows.

Yes, we read up to the first LF. This has been the traditional way of PGP2 and is still used by mail programs like Mutt.

werner claimed T5585: Passphrase File Carriage Return New Line \r\n Issue in Windows.

I see that problem but gpg has traditionally not interpreted the passphrase in any way. Right, for Windows we could strip the CR but I fear that this might break other users scripts/passphrases. However there should be a warning in the manual.

werner closed T5580: gpg2 proves signature correct, even if empty file is removed as Resolved.

gpg verifies the content of the file and not its meta data (file name). Thus an empty file is identical to a non-existing file. The OpenPGP protocol does not allow to distinguish between a detached signature and an embedded signature if you sign an empty file.
