Description
-----------
...
pinentry is a small GUI (or curses based) application used to
enter PINS or passphrases. It is usually invoked by gpg-agent
(part of the GnuPG package). This project will deliver 3 flavors
- pinentry-gtk, pinentry-gtk-2, and pinentry-curses. The default
is pinentry-curses.
...
Deliverables:
-------------
/usr/bin/pinentry-curses SFW Uncommitted
/usr/bin/pinentry-gtk SFW Uncommitted
/usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 SFW Uncommitted
/usr/share/info/pinentry.info SFW Uncommitted
Given that gpg-agent is the expected means of invocation, could the
executables be placed in /usr/lib?
(I'm still fighting a rear guard action to avoid /usr/bin clutter.)
