Since no flames were started over something technical. Let me see if I can toss in some gasoline and get the bonfire going.

Question is, is that the root of the problem? If you look into the situation, you will see it's mostly a problem of gpgme <-> gnupg. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164523 Comment 104 Update: [1] https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue772 [2] http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2007-February/023676.html Should have been solved in gnupg-2.0.4, it may help with progress. Notice should, and that both links deal with gpgme, NOT SEAHORSE or anything gnome related. Which gpgme and gnupg have basically the same upstream. Who has made vague comments about it working for them. Despite reports from others about problems.T here still is not a 100% solution from upstream between gpgme <-> gnupg. > Seriously, I could > care less; their problem. Yes, and because of the word Gnome being included, you are overlooking the important details that matter. In which it's not a Gnome problem at all :) The gnome apps like Seahorse talk to gpgme, not gnupg directly. That's were the problem lies. > Maybe upstream will wake up sometimes, Yes gnupg/gpgme upstream.

Users do care, if you notice the different people commenting on the different bugs. > use gnupg-1 because the legacy feeling is oh so great'? It's not just about legacy. gnupg-2 is not a COMPLETE replacement. There are FEATURES of gnupg-1. Upstream is still developing and supporting gnupg-1. So how is that legacy? Not to mention clearly stating gnupg-1 has benefits when used with gnupg-2. Not to mention server side and embedded uses. None of those features or benefits has anything to do with Gnome. That's about choice, and we aren't giving the user one. So here we are going on close to 6 months with no resolution. Which includes gnupg-2 not being stabilized. I fail to see how any of this is positive or progress. -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/Java
