Fixed in 1.19.0.

The crypto profiles have been removed in Gpg4win 4.1.1

Any volunteers to write a manual? ;-)

Actually this is about improving an error message.

Thanks for your follwup. Let me remark that it is sufficient to stop all gnupg processes (pkill gpg-agent) and then rename the ~/.gnupg to .gnupg-save-NNNN. This way you have a backup and gpg will create a new ~/.gnupg.

Thanks for the description; this is good for documentation.

Thanks. I fixed the documentation. Will go into 1.19

The current WKD/WKS draft offers no direct guidance to WKD clients about the type of filtering they should do.

Well, the modern way, recommended by the FSFE, for license notices in source files is SPDX instead of verbose license notices. https://reuse.software/

Modern way for license notice seems use of URL: https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#License-Notices-for-Code
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

Implications are... you won't be possible to use new protocols introduced by newer OpenSSH:

Thanks. Adding 'PubkeyAuthentication unbound' to my ~/.ssh/config seems to workaround it for me on openssh-9.1p1-3 (arch). I don't quite follow what the implications of that setting are though.

In my cases (tested with 9.1), here are the length of data to be signed by ssh-agent (emulation by gpg-agent).

• 164 bytes: Both features disabled by: ssh -o KexAlgorithms=-sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com -o PubkeyAuthentication=unbound
• 192 bytes: Unbound only by: ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=unbound
• 298 bytes: No Post Quantum only by: ssh -o KexAlgorithms=-sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com
• 330 bytes: Both features enabled (no options)

Thank you, looks good to me.

I tested with openssh 9.1. When I add -o PubkeyAuthentication=unbound, I can make the length of data smaller.

Please use gpgme.pc to configure your build. Your options are:
(1) With Autoconf:
(1-1) Use pkg.m4 and PKG_CHECK_MODULES (which uses pkg-config to access gpgme.pc)
(1-2) Use gpgme.m4 and AM_PATH_GPGME (which uses gpgrt-config to access gpgme.pc)
(2) Or... use pkg-config to access gpgme.pc.

Thanks. There should also be SPDX indentifiers everywhere.

For me ssh -o KexAlgorithms=-sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com ... does work as well.

The problem here is how large the data to be signed is. It is an issue of protocol design. The protocols are explained in openssh/PROTOCOL.certkeys and openssh/PROTOCOL. Unfortunately, it seems that it was designed with not much consideration for smartcard use case, so, data to be signed may be longer (than the capability of smartcard).

Fixed in libgpg-error 1.46 and pinentry 1.2.1.

Thanks. Fix has been pushed to master.

I don't think that we need to fix things here. Important is that the WKD import uses a filter which imports only keys with the requested mail address. However, if a key with the same fingerprint already exists it will be merged.

What I found: When the page is served by the server, it omits "charset=utf-8" part. This is the issue.

Thanks for fixing.

There won't be any semantic changes for obvious reasons.

Thanks for reporting.

The first thing is a problem of the GNU makeinfo tool. Can't be fixed int the source.

But then again: The three other apostrophes that occur in the text are represented by single quote characters. Maybe sticking to ASCII characters is the better fix after all.

Typographically the apostrophe character ’ is a different character than the single quote character '. So, the correct fix would be to fix the probably wrong encoded apostrophe instead of replacing it by a single quote character.

Changed the tags and the title.

Fixed in libgpg-error.

Thanks for you patches. Most of them applied cleanly despite that I delayed processing them for half a year.

There are reasons why we don't used pcsc-shared by default; for example: Not all OpenPGP cards support reading the current verification state (whether a PIN has already been entered) and thus we use a local cache for this. Other shared applications may change the state behind our back or even switch to another application on the card. Thus we use the safe way.

Thanks

The primary version of that script is in libgpg-error. Thus it needs to be fixed therefirst.

I would prefer to store legacy manuals on the web server. That is the easier solution.

@werner, because we have talked about it:

It would be convenient if the -c option could be easily set in the gpg-agent.conf or in some configuration file for pinentry. The workaround that I use now to create a script that I can then use as pinentry-program is extra work because it requires an additional script.

Well, as I've said in the comment above, there doesn't seem to be any correction towarads --passphrase-fd not requiring --pinentry-mode loopback (still works withou)... and --no-default-keyring still gives the impression that it would be needed (while --no-keyring works as well).

Please don't, if you really feel like tha tis not resolved please re-open this ticket.

@werner shall I open a new ticket for the remaining stuff?

The changes do not seem to touch anything I've mentoned in (1)?

Yes, --no-keyring should enough for the subset of gpg commands which do not need keys.

I think the behavior makes perfect sense for Unix but the default delimiter for .txt in Windows is \r\n.

The OP wants to do symmetric encryption. This isn't about the passphrase that protects a key.

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.

I'm guessing gpg in Unix has stripped the \n if present? I don't have access to a real Unix system at the moment.

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.

I have rather created D536 as IMO the timeout should be changed, not the documentation.
