I only have a couple of minutes so I apologise for not writing a complete answer. FWIW the gpg-agent was hard masked (yesterday?) and just adding it to your /etc/portage/package.keywords won't work. You need to use package.mask instead. However, I'm not sure why the hard masking was put in place - there may be a good reason to stop using gpg-agent and instead switch to another package. What should we use instead guys? To have gpg-agent starting automatically you need to enter eval $(gpg-agent --daemon) in the appropriate desktop manager startup file(s). Check the gentoo document on this topic (I can't remember if I saw it in the wiki). There was also an answer to one of my posts in this mailing list on gpg. To get it started immediately just run eval $(gpg-agent --daemon) from a terminal. More later. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
