Gnupg is in hamm and slink. It has recently undergone a major change making a change to the format for storing keys (making it a PITA if you want to keep your old keys). From reading the g10 mailing list I believe that it has stabilised a bit and is unlikely to undergo any further radical changes. -- I'll be in Denver from 30 Oct 1998 to 7 Nov 1998 (or maybe a few days longer). I'll be in London from ~9 Nov 1998. I'd like to meet any Linux users or users groups in these places at these times. I plan to work in London for 3 - 6 months...
