--- Begin Message ---Package: gnupg-agent Version: 2.0.0-5.2 Severity: minor Please enhance the --write-env-file to append current host to the filename: now : $HOME/.gpg-agent-info proposed: $HOME/.gpg-agent-info-<hostname> The motivation is that hosts usually use NFS mounted home directories and reading the current $HOME/.gpg-agent-info will not work in another host. Host X +----- host A | /home ---+----- Host B | +----- Host C If user log into all hosts: ssh user@hostA ssh user@hostB ssh user@hostC The initialization code in ~/.profile could work if --write-env-file wrote host specific files: $HOME/.gpg-agent-info-hostA $HOME/.gpg-agent-info-hostB $HOME/.gpg-agent-info-hostC It would be even better if the host portion used FDQN instead of the hostname(1). -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US) Versions of packages gnupg-agent depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcrypt11 1.2.3-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgpg-error0 1.4-2 library for common error values an ii libpth20 2.0.7-4 The GNU Portable Threads Versions of packages gnupg-agent recommends: ii gnupg 1.4.6-1 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii gnupg2 2.0.0-5.2 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep pn pinentry-curses | pinentry <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information
