gnupg vs. gnupg2
Hi folks, I have been a happy gpg user on Debian for years now. Now I have got a few question regarding the differences of gpg vs. gpg2. Here is what I know because the docu tells me - compared to gpg, gpg2 is modular and aimed at the desktop - judging from the man pages both provide the exact same feature set ... yes? - both can be used with auxiliary goodies like for example gpg-agent Here what I would like to know but neither the gpg website, google, wikipedia #gnupg nor the man pages answered my question - besides the afore mentioned differences like monolitic vs modular architecture, what else is different? Well, gpg2 provides support for MIME types as I figured ... what else? - is gpg2 considered prime time ready? - there is one utterly annoying fact with gpg2 which is the graphical windows which keep poping up http://i43.tinypic.com/154yb04.png How can I get rid of them and have the behavior of gpg which just stays in the shell? Is it me or is it really that hard to find those questions answered anywhere e.g. man pages? ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

GnuPG 2 is somewhat larger and provides S/MIME support and gpg-agent. That's really about it. - is gpg2 considered prime time ready? According to Werner, yes. Me, I wouldn't call GnuPG 2 for Windows ready for prime time. Over on Enigmail we see a fair number of GnuPG 2 for Windows problems -- or have historically; we haven't had much lately. - there is one utterly annoying fact with gpg2 which is the graphical windows which keep poping up http://i43.tinypic.com/154yb04.png How can I get rid of them and have the behavior of gpg which just stays in the shell? Can't answer this one, since I use 1.4. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

You can use the curses pinentry program. The prompt is due to gpg2 using gpg-agent. In ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, add: pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-curses You may also need to set GPG_TTY in your shell init file as well. For example, in ~/.bashrc: export GPG_TTY=`tty` Give info gnupg 'Invoking GPG-AGENT' a read. I found that helpful a while back. -- ToddOpenPGP - KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~ If at first you don't succeed, try management. pgphkcn52BzW1.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
