libgpg-error
============
This is a library that defines common error values for all GnuPG
components. Among these are GPG, GPGSM, GPGME, GPG-Agent, libgcrypt,
Libksba, DirMngr, Pinentry, SmartCard Daemon and possibly more in the
future.

However, some files (for example src/mkerrnos.awk) used in the build
process of the library are covered by a different license. Please see

copyright license of these files makes sure that the output in the
build process, which is used in libgpg-error, is not affected by the

Installation
------------
Please read the file INSTALL!
Here is a quick summary:
1) Check that you have unmodified sources. The below on how to do
this. Don't skip it - this is an important step!
2) Unpack the TAR. With GNU tar you can do it this way:
"tar xzvf libgpg-error-x.y.tar.gz"
3) "cd libgpg-error-x.y"
4) "./configure"
5) "make"
6) "make install"
How to Verify the Source
------------------------
In order to check that the version of libgpg-error which you are going
to install is an original and unmodified one, you can do it in one of
the following ways:
a) If you already have a trusted Version of GnuPG installed, you can
simply check the supplied signature:
$ gpg --verify libgpg-error-x.y.tar.gz.sig
This checks that the detached signature libgpg-error-x.y.tar.gz.sig
is indeed a a signature of libgpg-error-x.y.tar.gz.
Please note, that you have to use an old version of GnuPG to do all
this stuff. *Never* use the version which you are going to check!
b) If you don't have any of the above programs, you have to verify the
MD5 checksum:
$ md5sum libgpg-error-x.y.tar.gz
This should yield an output _similar_ to this:
fd9351b26b3189c1d577f0970f9dcadc libgpg-error-x.y.tar.gz
Now check that this checksum is _exactly_ the same as the one
published via the announcement list and probably via Usenet.
