That looks all pretty standard. I don't know what's going on. I need to be able to replicate it here.

Sorry, I am not abale to replicate this with standard version of gpg. Hwoever, the portable version only changes the directories and nothing at the output code paths. THus I really wonder what's going on here. Note that the spaces used to indent the "mittels ..." are also missing.

Ah well, Kleopatra has a GUI to set the keyserver - that is probably easier to use.

The keyserver network has been shutdown a couple of months ago. We can't do anything about it. The default in newer gpg versions has changed; you may put

Okay.

We want to deprecate the whole UI-Server thing and thus I considered it better to provide the generic socket dir instead of adding support in libkleo for the uiserver socket. For the time being, doing this in Kleopatra sounds better to me. From my understanding. libkleo shall be an interface to gpgme++, right?

Since the migration to a new machine with lots of config changes this spring the redirect rules for bugs.gnupg.org were not properly adjusted and when running into an error, it seems that the admin back then ignored the problem and simply removed bugs.gnupg.org from dehydrated's list of domains. Thanks again for reporting. Should now work again.

Sorry for your troubles but we need to protect against spam - a tracker flooded with spam is useless.

Sorry, I don't know which software has version 12.0.0 and which git master this is. In case this is stock libksba, please tell us at least the last commit id. Note that we in general do not support arbitrary versions from the repos but only released versions .

For Kleopatra this patch

It will be useful to have support in libkleo:

Please see T5587

Here is James' writeup on the use https://gnupg.org/blog/20210315-using-tpm-with-gnupg-2.3.html . For more details please consult the mailing lists and the commit messages.

Tsss, requires to allow JS for Google.

Ich you do not have a working TPM or emulation but the tpm libraries installed run configure with the option

--disable-tpm2d

That does indeed not look like something which could introduce a regression.

GnuPG 2.0 reached end-of-life nearly 4 years ago. See https://gnupg.org/download/index.html#end-of-life . Same for Gpg4win. They are not maintained and its use is very risky due to unfixed bugs. Please update to a recent version.

macOS has low priority for us and I do not want to risk any regression.

@amit: Do you say it used to work with GnuPG 2.2.27 or did it worked with an older version?

Which gpg version?
Which Python library? (gnupg is pretty generic)
How does the Python library call gpg?
Are you aware that gpg uses utf8 and not Windows Unicode?

Well, while importing you get the warning:

Yes, for migration from GnuPG 2.0 reasons, a batch import delays the key checking (i.e. converting from OpenPGP to GnuPG internal format) to the first use. Thus you don't see an error immediately. But if you encrypt something , you won't be able to decrypt it again:

FWIW: I tested it with a freshly created card and thus keys. When hitting the "create OpenPGP Key " button, a warning was shown that a key already exists, I selected the do-anyway thing but the created keys had different fingerprints then. Thus the creation time was not taken in account. I recall that I implemented this for gpg-card and thus only for 2.3 - it is just quite likely that it does not work for 2.2.

Thanks. Applied with a minor change: The string is now in a new third field.

Thanks for reporting. However, many gcc warnings produce a lot of false positives. Thus to be useful all the warnings need to be scrutinized. Let's do this for one example

The actual patch is rGd4768bb982adb5c8410303334ee8d82ba0d71f3b (our parser in dev.gnupg.org missed to pick up the bug-id due to teh use of scissor lines in the commit message).

Thanks for commenting. I close this bug then.

Remember to always pass --batch for unattended operations.

Having hash-algo in the s-exp is useful because a hash handle may carry several hashes. This is sometimes useful if you do not know the hash algorithm in advance and you need to make a guess (various PGP compatibility things in gpg). But of course we can simplify this and use the default algo from the hash handle if hash-algo is missing.

I introduced a regression in this version; if you run into problems please update to 2.3.31 (T5571)

Some quick ideas: On Windows we have envvars (and APIs) to determine certain locations. There is also the registry. We use of all them. IT would be best to do this simalar on Unix. We also have a control file on Windows which switches to that portable mode; maybe it is best to do this also on Unix - A text file installed alongside gpg which gpg (common/homedir.c) uses to enable the use of certain envvars to locate the root etc..

We can easily extend the gcry_get_config API. You can give a key or have it to return all infos. For examle
"gpgconf --show-versions" prints this about libgcrypt:

If a configure switch to disable Brainpool curves will be added, we also need to add a switch to disable NIST curves.

Thanks. I meanwhile pushed a fix to 2.3 so that a warning is shown if the low bits are set.

Won't be implemented as a new option because --check-sym-passphrase-pattern and --check-passphrase-pattern (since 2.2.30) can be used to implement the same in a more flexible way.

gniibe: What's the state of this?

Currently I see no need to fix this for 2.2

Released with 2.2.30 (T5519)

Right, as long as there is only one format in widespread use (based on a long existing 4880bis draft) only this format should go over the wire.
Thus, it is a matter how the key is exported. In cryptography you should never have several options - one clearly defined format is what you want. We have had enough trouble with PGP5 peculiarities but in that case their implementation had more users and thus GnuPG had to work around it. Not good, but there was no standard at all at this time.

And well, the context area of the handle is also wiped at gcry_cipher_close time. Thus any standard use of aeswrap (open,encrypt/decrypt,close) is not affected.

Good catch. Thanks. This patch should fix the leak:

My suggestion for a combined function is a simple:

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

Sorry, GnuPG proper has no context menu or any graphic user interface. You need to install Gpg4win for this. Regarding use of gpg by other programs: There has been no change - other programs need to use the status-fd/command-fd interface and that has always been defined as UTF-8 and not as any native codepage. Please ask the makers of The Bat what is going wrong there.

Last week:

• Business stuff
• GnuPG 2.2 minor bug fixes

The breakaway job notices should definitely only be emitted in verbose mode. For the other things I need to check.

GnuPG stable (i.e. 2.3.2) has full support for several readers and tokens. This won't be backported to the LTS versions (2.2), though. Better switch.
