Hi folks. I'm currently reading RFC4880 and I think I have many minor questions... is the gnupg-users list the right place to ask? Or is there any better place? Anyway,... I think I start right now and ask my first question,.. (think it's easier to handle if I ask only one or two questions per mail-thread).
Hopefully you can help me and hopefully I'm not to annoying ;-) 1) In chapter 3.7.2.1 on page 13 it says that the octet can have values "255 or 254". Is there any difference between the two? 2) I've digged a little bit into the bit layout of gpg created keys (with hd and pgpdump), and it seems that gpg creates packets with old packed format (bit 6 in the packet header cleard) whenever possible. What's the reason for this? I mean the RFC recommends to use the new packet format. Can I change that default behaviour? And if I have a key, that's already used and signed by others, could I convert it to using the new format? Thanks in advance, Peter
