 Hi!
 On Linux I would like to change the homedirectory from ~/.gnupg to
 /something/else.

 Defining GNUPGHOME has no effect on my Linux system while it worked on
 Windows. Does this option not exist in GnuPG for Linux? How to define
 something similar.

 Because I want to use gnupg indirectly through other porgrams I can NOT
 use a parameter such as --homedir.

 The only workaround I found was setting HOME to /something/else and use
 /something/else/.gnupg . But this is ugly.

 Any ideas?

That the beauty of Linux usually more than one way to do something

Since I keep my keyrings on a usb drive, I use the command
ln -s /path/to/keyrings .gnupg
cavent that there's no current .gnupg dir.  You could rename current
.gnupg to .gnupg-old then anytime you wanted to point to it
ln -sf .gnupg-old .gnupg

this makes a symbiloc link between the two directories and gpg will see
all /path/to/keyrings as .gnupg

GNUPGHOME works fine on linux.  How are you setting it?  If your shell
is bash, then you should use something like:

export GNUPGHOME=/something/else

Put this in ~/.bash_profile so that it gets set whenever you login.

Thanks, this was my mistake.
