Ah-ha!  Brilliant, thanks Werner, this is exactly what I was looking for.

If you want to migrate the keys from a secring.gpg again to the 2.1
secret key stoarge, you may either use

  gpg2 --batch --import secring.gpg

oops, of course that should read 

  gpg1 --export-secret-keys | gpg2 --batch --import

or you delete the .gpg-v21-migrated file and gpg2 will do it for you.
Keys which already exist won't be imported again.


Salam-Shalom,

Doesn't it detect the presence/absence of the file "gpg-v21-migrated"?

gpg-agent override to import secret keys in 2.1

2015-05-21 Thread Ben McGinnes 
Hello,
Does anyone know whether or not there is an override command
or option to force -agent to read/import secret keys after the initial
migration to version 2.1?

The basic scenario here is a primary workstation which the initial
migration was performed on and a subsequent decommisioning of another
workstation and keys generated on that workstation need to be merged
with the primary.  Not to mention the inevitable situation of
replacing systems and needing to move everything, not just a subset.


Regards,
Ben
