Martin, although already merged, i don't think it's perfect already.
afaiu gpg2+ _always_ uses the agent if input is necessary. that's why the manpage contained, auntil you removed " GnuPG 2 and newer ignore this option and will always use a running .B gpg-agent if no passphrase was delivered. " this is because the passphrase input routines got moved from gpg into gpg-agent. additionally if we want gpg to ask for a passphrase and block the process we need to deliver '--pinentry-mode=loopback', which seems to be used in the current gpg.py http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/duplicity/0.8-series/view/head:/duplicity/gpg.py#L142 1. out of interest, why did your earlier patch use '--pinentry-mode=cancel'? 2. please check if gpg2.1 does start a gpg-agent. according to my tests a gpg-agent instance is started and keeps lingering if not killed manually. ..ede/duply.net On 09.02.2017 14:44, Martin Wilck wrote: > Martin Wilck has proposed merging lp:~mwilck/duplicity/0.7-series into > lp:duplicity/0.7-series. > > Requested reviews: > duplicity-team (duplicity-team) > > For more details, see: > https://code.launchpad.net/~mwilck/duplicity/0.7-series/+merge/316852 > > Fixed the documentation of --use-agent in the man page.
