All-
There's a recent release of the security/pinentry package, that's used by
components of gnupg. There's nothing security related or pressing, but
I would like to package the updated version for OI. I know the workflow
for the update, but I have a couple of questions about options within
the package itself.
The current package disables building the pinentry backends for QT and
FLTK, and I wouldn't change that.
There's an optional pinentry-tty that I would like to enable and include,
though. It's not built by default, but does build just fine on OI. It
doesn't introduce any addition package dependencies.
There's also a pinentry-gnome3 that will build on current OI. Should that
be packaged too, or disabled like the pinentry-qt? This one very likely
does introduce additional library dependencies for security/pinentry.
Finally, the security/pinentry uses symlinks to default /usr/bin/pinentry
to the pinentry-gtk2 backend. Is there a convenient method with IPS to
make that selectable by the sysadmin installing the system? Something
similar to how the system-default version of python or perl can be
changed.
Thanks,
Tim
