Fwd: GPGME status callback not working for need entropy

GPGME status callback not working for need entropy

I've been trying to use the GPGME status callback to get an indication of when the system is low on entropy, but I don't seem to get a callback when such an even occurs. I've enabled full status and I get Pinentry Launched status messages, so it seems to sort of be working. When generating a key

Second unexplained pinentry when generating subkeys with GPGME

When generating a new GPG master key and some subkeys with GPGME I noticed some odd behavior. I get a second passphrase pinentry when generating the first subkey and I don't know why. I initially thought it was for creating the automatic revocation certificate, as it doesn't seem to happen if I

Generating NIST/Brainpool subkeys with GPGME

It appears that one cannot currently generate NIST or Brainpool subkeys with GPGME. Using GPG itself works fine with --expert, so am I missing an option or is this simply not possible yet? I've attached a simple test program and the output I get on my machine is below: ./eccsubkeys rsa1024 GPGME

Pinentry: Inappropriate ioctl for device when getting smartcard PIN

I've got another pinentry problem unfortunately. The tty is owned by the correct user this time and $GPG_TTY is set correctly. I have two gpgme contexts, one for openpgp and another for assuan commands to the smartcard. Pinentry triggered by the openpgp context works perfectly, but any pinentry

Pinentry: Permission Denied

I've been getting the occasional "Pinentry: Permission Denied" error when generating new keys with GPGME and leaving pinentry to get the password instead of passing it directly (passphrase=True with the python bindings). Typically a reboot will fix it but it's rather odd. I've attached a couple

GPGME export secret subkeys

GPGME has export and import functions that work well as alternatives to "gpg --import" and "gpg --export". However, looking through the documentation I cannot find an equivalent to "gpg --export-secret-subkeys". Have I missed something, or does such functionality not yet exist? Thanks, Jacob

GPGME progress callback no current or total

smartcards and GPGME

Hello all, As part of a program I'm writing this summer for GSoC, I'd like to be able to both move gpg private keys to a smartcard and generate keys on the smartcard from an application. While this can be done from gpg, it doesn't look like I can do so from GPGME or any other wrappers that exist.

PGP Clean Room GSoC Mentoring

Hello all, I'm a prospective student for Debian's Google Summer of Code 2018 and I am interested in working on a project that may be of interest to those on this mailing list and that requires at least one more co-mentor to move forward. The biggest hurdle I faced when setting up my GPG key was
