Hi Alejandro,

I am a little confused by your assertion that "gpg 1.4.7 came with Mac
OS X". GnuPG software is not included in any way in the MacOS X releases.
One has to to actually download the software and either compile it, or
download a binary installer, and install it.

Not found in your public keyring, or not found at all?

In my Terminal:
$ gpg --verify gnupg-2.0.13.tar.bz2.sig gnupg-2.0.13.tar.bz2
gpg: Signature made Fri Sep  4 12:35:03 2009 EDT using RSA key ID 1CE0C630
gpg: Good signature from "Werner Koch (dist sig) "

When the key you are searching for, with the command search-key and not
recv-key is found in a keyserver (following your CLI in Terminal), the
Terminal output will display the key information and offer the option to
import it. Once you have imported it into your public keyring, you will
be able to verify the signature. When using the command recv-key, the
key (if found on the keyserver you are using) will be automatically
downloaded and imported into your public keyring.

By the way, if you intend to compile gnupg-2.0.13 in MacOSX, you will
not, I'm afraid, succeed to have a working gpg2 2.0.13 unless you also
download and install the libraries required by gpg2. Even then, the
resulting installation will not "work" because you need to install
gpg-agent and pinentry that are compatible with MacOSX environment.

A binary installer for MacGPG2 2.0.12 is available for download from the
MacGPG2 project at
.
I believe a similar installer for MacGPG2 2.0.13 is in the making by Ben
Donnachie, manager and maintainer of the project.

MacGPG2 is a project separate from MacGPG

GPG (any version) does not come with OSX.  If it is present there,  
someone other than Apple installed it.

website and found the username associated with 1CE0C630 (the public

If you see results when you do a --search-keys, just enter the number  
in parentheses, next to the key.  GPG will use the same keyserver to  
retrieve and import the key.

Perhaps you shouldn't; GnuPG is not part of OS X.

gpg --keyserver x-hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 1CE0C630

This has been tested on OS X 10.6.1.

verification/installation

[Alejandro Erickson]

Hi,
I'm a little confused about the verification/installation process.

I have gpg 1.4.7 which came with Mac OS X - assume I trust it.  I want  
to verify and install gpg 2.  I download gnupg-2.0.13.tar.bz2 and  
gnupg-2.0.13.tar.bz2.sig and run

$ gpg --verify gnupg-2.0.13.tar.bz2.sig
but it tells me public key not found.  I checked on the gnupg website  
and found the username associated with 1CE0C630 (the public key for  
the signature on gpg 2).  I can get gpg to list this public key with

$ gpg --search-keys dd...@gnu.org
but I can't seem to find a command to import it or to search the  
keyserver when verifying.  I can find the key online and copy/paste  
into a file and import the key to gpg but I imagine this is automated.


Cheers,
Alejandro

gpgme error no data for op_verify

[Josselin Jacquard]

Hi,
I've got a bug and I can't find the solution.

I'm calling gpgme_op_verify with a non empty signature and a non empty plain
text, but the gpgme returns a no data error.

It looks like when debugging that the _gpgme_op_data_lookup return this
error (called by _gpgme_op_verify_init_result)

The line 48 - 49 throws the error :

data = calloc (1, sizeof (struct ctx_op_data) + size);

if (!data)


data is initialized by
*data = ctx->op_data

It looks like data is always null pointer during my debugs.


Thanks in advance,


Joss
