Hello Group, I have been experimenting with installing GnuPG from scratch and also by using the Debian packages. I am currently running Debian "Stretch" with experimantal added to get me GnuPG 2.1.4:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free # experimental sources in order to get latest vertion of GnuPG deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main Now that we have a new version of Pinentry, I would like to try installing from scratch since the Debian package is currently only at version 0.9.4-2. I noticed when I tried to install the Debian package, (sudo apt-get install pinentry) it tells me there are several variations: Package pinentry is a virtual package provided by: pinentry-tty 0.9.4-2 pinentry-qt4 0.9.4-2 pinentry-gtk2 0.9.4-2 pinentry-gnome3 0.9.4-2 pinentry-curses 0.9.4-2 mew-beta-bin 7.0.50~6.7~rc1+0.20150513-1 mew-bin 1:6.6-3 You should explicitly select one to install. So I used "sudo apt-get install pinentry*" in order to get them all. Was this correct? Does the available tar-ball have all of these too? (pinentry-0.9.5.tar.bz2) Now I want to install pinentry-0.9.5. In the past I downloaded all of the tar-balls (GnuPG, Libgpg-error, Libgcrypt, etc) to a folder in my home directory which I named "Software" I then unpacked them, cd'ed in to each directory and then ran "./configure, make, make install) I'm older and wiser now. Should I unpack the Pinentry-0.9.5.tar.bz2 in to the /usr/local folder and then perform the ./configure,make,make install steps? How would I put the libraries in /usr/local/lib and the headers in /usr/local/include? Do they go there automatically when I run the installation? (naive assumption) Rex (Sorry if this question is more Debian related than GnuPG related, but it is the application I'm trying to install) Werner Koch: > Hi, > > Pinentry 0.9.5 is now available at > > ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/pinentry/pinentry-0.9.5.tar.bz2 > ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/pinentry/pinentry-0.9.5.tar.bz2.sig > > > Noteworthy changes in version 0.9.5 (2015-07-01) > ------------------------------------------------ > > * Replaced the internal Assuan and gpg-error code by the standard > libassuan and libgpg-error libraries. > > * Add a new Emacs pinentry and use as fallback for GUI programs. > > * gnome3: The use-password-manager checkbox does now work. > > * Gtk: Improved fallback to curses feature. > > * curses: Recognize DEL as backspace. > > > > Salam-Shalom, > > Werner > > _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
