werner closed T6999: Are you aware of implementations which would generate signatures with 0x0001 lbits in signature? as Resolved.

No, I am not aware. I can't remember whether PGP once had such a bug because @dshaw did most cross-testing and fixing for PGP bugs. I would suggest to remove any such checks. IIRC, this was introduced by PGP 2 to speed up signature checking. 30 years ago RSA operations were quite expensive.

werner closed T6981: Not VS-NfD compliant as Resolved.

VS-NfD is not a standard but a classification for restricted data. Software used to convey such material needs an official approval and is bound to certain organizational requirements. That is what "VS-NfD konform" says. The community version of gpg4win does not have this approval despite that it is technically the same code as the approved GnuPG VS-Desktop.

werner closed T6972: Explicitly deprecate --use-embedded-filename -- it is hazardous as Resolved.

Unfortunately there are real world applications which make use of this option in special environments. Thus we can't remove it. I improved the warning in the man page.

gniibe added a project to T6871: SmartCard stopped working in 2.4: Documentation.

In 2.4, a user need to specify disable-ccid in scdaemon.conf when scdaemon is built with integrated CCID driver (using libusb) but the user wants to use PC/SC driver instead.

gniibe changed the status of T6810: gpgv: missing entry in "FILES" section in gpgv.texi from Open to Testing.
Nov 16 2023, 5:32 AM · gnupg, Documentation
gniibe claimed T6810: gpgv: missing entry in "FILES" section in gpgv.texi.

To align the documentation of GnuPG, we should not use GNUPGHOME in FILES section.
It may be controlled by --homedir as well as GNUPGHOME.
GNUPGHOME is addressed in the ENVIRONMENT section, so, I don't think it makes sense using $GNUPGHOME}/trustedkeys.kbx.

werner removed a project from T6765: signature-key.pdf has incorrect signature: Bug Report.

Your tools don't use the chain validation model which is required for QES (at least according to German laws). A signature is still valid even if the certificate has been revoked. You need to consider the context and the time the certificate was revoked.

Thanks. I think that it was the oldest one: FSF used to be there in Cambridge, then moved to Tremont St. in Boston, and now it's in Franklin St.

FYI, while going through the licenses again I noticed one of the pinentry files have even older address that so if you would do sed, this would not be matched:

Funny enough that Python seems not to allow to set the permission with open. Low priority because a proper umask must anyway be used on a multi-user system.

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.
