Thank you for the report.

• It is also possible for GnuPG to keep the behavior of 2.4.0, so that it doesn't confuse EasyPG.
  • This is a possible solution #2: change in master: rG2f872fa68c65: gpg: Report BEGIN_* status before examining the input.
  • But... it is difficult for implementation of GnuPG to guarantee this kind of behavior.

For a while, distributions can apply rG2f872fa68c65 for 2.4 series.

Sorry, we won't do that. Please search on the Net for reasons why this is not a good idea. In any case you better move to Ed25519 or - if you really feel like this - to X448. The GnuPG FAQ als gives a rationale why larger keys are not useful.

Why the limitation to a single OpenPGP keyserver?

Because otherwise the UI will get confusing if you get the same key
e.g. from multiple keyservers And it is AFAIK a limitation of GnuPG.
We could use a keyserver with a DNS entry again which randomly selects
a keyserver? To avoid always using the same one.

Actually, when having multiple keyservers, the following would work:

• To configure a keyserver none I have now T6950: Kleopatra: Usability improvements for directory services configuration
• For tarball naming I created T6952: Gpg4win build system: Include commit hash in tarballs from gen-tarball.sh
• For the about dialog I have T6953: Kleopatra: show commit id in about dialog

My suggestion would be the following:

I renamed the task accoringly.

Oh These are good points

This is not the first time I saw that users are confused by this. My wish would be to change the label of the Group at least to "S/MIME (X509) Directory Services"

@ebo Is this fixed now?

Is the lack of display of entries in the listbox proper functionality?

The min-rsa option was introduced due because the de-vs compliance allowed 2048 bit until the end of 2023 and we used a trick in our configuration file to switch that relaxed handling off with this year. I don't think that the --ciompliance option is really useful becuase it would also disallow ed25519.

A better option would be an --assert-algo option similar to the --assert-signer which we already have in gpg.

But thanks for reporting! I really like feature requests so please do not feel discouraged to request more features.

Sorry, but this is a "Wontfix" we do not support this by choice. We think that adding photos to certificates both gives a wrong sense like "I know that picture, iit must be this person" and also increases the sizes of the certificates a lot. It is in our opinion a misfeature in the OpnePGP specificationl.

Under "X.509 Directory Services" you can add "key servers" for X.509 certificates (aka CMS certificates, vulgo S/MIME certificates). For OpenPGP only a single OpenPGP server can be entered. The suggestion is the Ubuntu key server because it is/was one of very few reliable key servers.

I noticed the Debian bug and was about to answer but a feature request is also a good thing.

I'm putting this back to triage because I cannot act on this ticket. There's way too much text and the outcome what should be done is unclear. Either rewrite the description so that it tells the reader concisely what should be changed and how it should be changed. Or, maybe better, create a new ticket referring to the discussion in this ticket and close this ticket.

I don't understand what your comments about the (missing) success window mean. The screenshot that you added to this task is the success window reporting "The key was copied to the card.". It even has the title "Success". As far as I can tell this window is exactly what you describe with

Would it be possible to move the success window to the start? Ideally combine it with the window asking what should be done with the key on disk. Then "copied" would be correct, as the original still exists and we do not need additional code paths for the other combinations.

The problem mentioned in T6095#173465 no longer occurs with the changes made for T6662: Kleopatra: improve useability of group configuration , neither if the Help button is shown nor if the Help button isn't shown.

Regarding T6662#174484, this was already implemented this way. Of course, it still works this way.

Sorry, it was my fault building the test installer.

To be clear: This ticket is only about GnuPG (more precisely dirmngr) and the changes are included in VSD and Gpg4win.

Hi, ebo I would still think this is resolved. Because it was never meant that the user manually enters the value of "none" because there is no hint for the user that "none" is a reserved word. It should either be administratively configured which does not make much sense for Gpg4win or provided by the distribution. If left empty the default of GnuPG should be used. If we really want users to deactivate keyserver access by using "none" in the dirmngr.conf a much better solution would be a checkbox for this. In that case I would open a new issue.

The fix was not included in the Testbuid...

Does not work in Gpg4win-4.2.1-beta178

works in Gpg4win-4.2.1-beta178
Note to self: need to check with "to the second" expiry time, in case this only occurs with summertime

works in Gpg4win-4.2.1-beta178

For what it's worth when I filed the Debian bug I mistakenly believed min-rsa-key-length in gpg would do that but it only applies to de-vs compliance profile and is *silently* ignored otherwise.

We tested with Kleopatra:

• Only gpg4win 4.2 is affected (the current version) but 4.1 is not affected.
• No vsd version is affected.

FWIW, I am already working on this.

Currently, there is no support for gpg-agent to keep private key not on disk, but only on memory of gpg-agent. Given the situation,
I think that it is good to:
