Question #658091 on Duplicity changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/658091
Kenneth Loafman proposed the following answer: If you look at: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/duplicity/0.7-series/view/head:/bin/duplicity#L145 you will see the assumptions that drive duplicity's get_passphrase(). There is no direct way in gpg to find out if a real passphrase is needed, thus the builtin assumptions for now. As to why it needs a passphrase when we do incrementals, it's a combination of the assumptions above and the fact that sometimes the local cache gets deleted or munged by a user. Trying to second guess that is trying to second guess humans. Can't be done. -- You received this question notification because your team duplicity-team is an answer contact for Duplicity. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
