This has been asked a few times.  The last time it was asked, the  
developers said that it would create a lot of problems.  How should  
the money be split up?  While the developers certainly deserve  
credit, so too do people on mailing lists who help newbies, so too do  
people who search through the code and find bugs, so too do...  
etcetera, etcetera.

However, GnuPG is--as you can guess from its name--a GNU project,  
which means it's closely affiliated with the Free Software  
Foundation.  The FSF is a non-profit charity headquartered in the  
United States, and gratefully accepts donations.

HowTo make a donation to gpg...

2007-03-16 Thread Sebastian von Thadden
Hi,

I'm really exaltet about gpg and want to support the project with a
little donation. I think, if I can't help to develop such a good
project, the team should get a little bit support. The most OS-projects
are better than commercial products. A donation is the least, that I
(and other users) can do.

On the gpg-website I've searched for a paypal-donation button or
something else... Nothing.

I think, the gpg-team should install a possibility for this on the website.

Bye,
Sebastian

See below for all the support for revoker removal that you need.

I had to do it. :-)

Question for Werner:  Will there ever be a --with-colons for
--list-packets?  This script might not be friendly to non-English versions.

Good luck

The PGP GUI in freeware mode should continue working. The paid elements include
the email plugins and PGPdisk.

It is fairly easy to import your entire keyring set to GnuPG

gpg --import \path\to\secring.skr
gpg --import \path\to\pubring.pkr

The above works at this time (PGP 9.x and GnuPG 1.4). It will quire possibly
change at some future date. The canonical method is to export the keys from PGP
and import them into GnuPG. Adding '--import-options import-local-sigs' to the
command line will import local signatures.

This is not exactly true.  You can certainly delete the packet that
says "this key has a designated revoker", but note that there is no
way to undo the designation if the key has been distributed.  It's
like a signature from a key you don't own: you could delete the
signature packet, but you can't revoke it.  Designated revoker
signatures are irrevocable as part of the OpenPGP protocol, even
though they are issued from your own key.

What PGP is doing is just deleting the packet.  If you sync with a
keyserver that has your key, the packet will just come back.

All that said, yes, GPG has no way to delete designated revoker
packets.  The only way to do it is export your public key and run
'gpgsplit' on it.  Then delete the packet you want to get rid of and
'cat' the packets back together.
