None of your business? I don't know...but good topic.
1. I don't think it is an issue with a support contract. Ours use to
be directly with SUSE, but now it is under our general Novell contract.
I just looked at GnuPG as just an application that runs under Linux. So
I picked up the new GnuPG from the website. But now that you brought it
up, I should have looked on the Novell website. I should have been able
to use YOU to update it. Firewall restrictions currently prevent me
from YOU access outside of the firewall. So, that wouldn't have been an
option, if I would have thought about it.
2. I didn't look at SLES10. However, GnuPG 2.0.1 just came out in late
December 2006. So I doubt the base SLES10 would have had a V2.
3. Right now, I'm pretty dedicated to SLES 9. When Oracle 10g and
DB2/UDB are certified for SLES10, I will be ready for an upgrade cycle.
Ooops, forgot Websphere also.
No, I didn't look other places, once I found the www.gnupg.com website.
Once I got the right commands, producing the files from source was
somewhat interesting. That is the first time, I've attempted installing
from source somethat that wasn't really trivial.

I couldn't fine documentation that I needed, but I did find good
documentation for gnupg 2.0.1.
So, I decided to download and install 2.0.1. This is a source install
and you have to compile everything. Of course, I have the default
install for SLES9, which didn't include some of the libraries. And some
of the libraries I did have installed, were at too low of a software
level. So, now I'm on the track of installing a lot more stuff.
None of my business, I know, but
1. What do these adventures mean for your support contracts?
2. What version of gpg is in SLES10? I don't have any SLES or SUSE
installed atm; from what I do have (FF6, Etch) suggest probably not, but
the libraries should be closer.
3. Did you consider upgrading to SLES10?
Google may find binaries you desire, and rpmforge may have them; if not
then at least an rpm for gpg 2 that builds for SLES9 on other hardware.
I've not followed up the docs included in FC6, but did you check the
relevant RFC? The standard's not PGP, but OpenPGP.
