Package: gajim Version: 0.11.4-2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I'm using the gpg encryption capabilities of gajim with some contacts. But I dont use it often. Currently, there's two way of using it: - standalone: gajim asks for the passphrase at startup, then caches it in memory. Not really usefull to ask for the passphrase at startup, I guess. And then it's not really secure to keep the passphrase cached. - using gpg-agent: gajim asks for the passphrase at startup, then again and again and again, because gpg-agent “forgets” the passphrase regularly, for security reason. There's no reason (I guess) to keep the passphrase constantly available for gajim, if it doesn't use it. If there's no conversation with a gpg-enabled contact, no need to cache it. When a message gpg-encrypted comes, ask for the passphrase, then cache it in memory during the conversation time, then forget it. I'm not sure, but I don't think gajim use gpg to sign every outgoing messages, especially for not gpg-enabled contact. Thanks for maintaining gajim anyway!
