Release Digest: GNOME, April 22, 2004

gnome-gpg 0.3

Hi,

This is the first public release of my little hack, gnome-gpg.
From the website:

gnome-gpg is not what you think.

I’m sure some project out there already has this name. However I
love to stomp on other people’s namespaces. What gnome-gpg is is a
simple command-line wrapper around gpg that makes it store its
passphrase in gnome-keyring. It is a direct competitor to (the
unmaintained) quintuple-agent. Plus leverages the GNOME
authentication dialogs for a much nicer UI.

It is not a keyring management program or anything like that,
and has no plans to become one.

Here’s the web page:
http://people.redhat.com/~walters/gnome-gpg/

Downloads are linked from there.

It still has rough edges, but it works for me. What I need to do
next is add better integration with gpg’s status fd so I can have
it re-prompt you when you enter a bad passphrase. Right now you
need to rerun it with –force-passphrase to get it to prompt again.
