An organized way to dit is to use GNU stow. You configure & compile gpg as usual, then (assuming you have stow installed and old gnupg-X.Y was also stow'ed) do make prefix=/usr/local/stow/gnupg-X.Z install and cd /usr/local/stow && stow -D gnupg-X.Y && stow gnupg-X.Z all is seamlessly switched in /usr/local bin and lib alex ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

I use that kind of approach too, but not with gnupg. One has to know in detail where stuff is installed etc. Not recommended for ordinary users. -- left blank, right bald pgpsgtEhbUqhX.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

The OP doesn't state what system he uses, but on Linux I have a synlink /usr/local/lib/gnupg which currently points to /usr/local/lib/gnupg-143.

Last time I checked the latest version was 1.4.3 You could uninstall the current gnupg if you use a package system. Then install the new one. Or just compile and install the latest version, end users won't notice any difference. Well, I didn't :-) However, when it comes to signing keys gnupg as of version 1.4.x needs the config option ask-cert-level to be either present in ~./gnupg/options or on the command line - in case that particular option is missing, the default level of signature (0) is given to keys being signed (if no default-cert-level option is passed along to gnupg of course). I still fail to see the benefit of this behaviour, but that's the way it is. -- left blank, right bald pgpQ1hyAqVBHv.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Aside from the obvious steps of making a backup and testing that your environment still does what you want it to do, you can just install 1.4.3 on top of 1.2.1.

Upgrading from 1.2.1 to 1.4.4
We are beginning the process to upgrade our gnuPG installation from 1.2.1 to 1.4.4. I have looked on the website, but have not found directions on how to do this upgrade. Can someone please provide me that information, or a link to the site containing that information? Also, what things should we be watching out for in the upgrade? Are the concerns or special steps that we need to take to be able to use the same key rings and same secrete keys?
