Hello all, As you may know, KMail in Debian testing/unstable has had the severe limitation of not being able to decrypt mail encrypted using the PGP/MIME standard, without the help of an external program, namely gnupg-agent. As this program was not available from Debian, indeed only from external repositories, the situation was far from satisfying, for users, maintainers, and upstream. This is Debian Bug #280175 and KDE Bug #92619.
Myself and the other members of the KDE team have repeatedly stated that work was in progress, and asked for your patience. I'm happy to announce that the 'gnupg-agent' package is available as of today in Debian Sid, and hopefully soon from Debian Sarge as well. This will make KMail fully functional in the upcoming Debian 3.1 release, which is undoubtedly a good thing. For the sake of completeness, gpgsm has also been uploaded, which will make the KDE certificate manager, kleopatra, functional as well. I want to thank you for your understanding during this delay, and also to thank the people that have made this possible. I know Debian can be slow at times, but we try not to forget the outstanding issues. Thanks for reading. -- Adeodato Simó EM: asp16 [ykwim] alu.ua.es | PK: DA6AE621 A lie can go round the world before the truth has got its boots on. -- Terry Pratchett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
