Hi, I'd like to resume the discussion about GnuPG and Gnome Keyring. I read the thread from last Auguest [1], but I couldn't find much more information. Stef, could you please tell me exactly what Gnome Keyring needs to do?
As I understand the issue, Gnome Keyring wants to cache the password for the secret key. It seems to me that the easiest solution is to direct GnuPG to use a special pinentry program that is Gnome Keyring aware. Basically, gnupg invokes this program when it needs a password. But, instead of immediately showing a dialog, it first checks whether Gnome Keyring has cached the password. If not, it uses a Gnome-themed dialog to prompt the user for the password. If the password is accepted, it can then save it in the Gnome Keyring. I suspect that this is much simpler than implementing a gpg-agent proxy. Perhaps I'm missing something. If so, please help me better understand the issue. Thanks, Neal [1] https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2014-August/028689.html _______________________________________________ gnome-keyring-list mailing list gnome-keyring-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-keyring-list
