I really like this, but I think it could be improved: You don’t really need to pass --enable-ssh-support.
Instead, you can place the option in the gpg-agent.conf file (~/.gnupg /gpg-agent.conf) This way there is no need to worry about competing with ssh-agent. So the only thing to really worry about then, is exporting the appropriate environment variables, and it should be palatable to ssh- agent users. I think this change could be included in the official package too, with no problem. There is some inconsistency among the various *-agents though: To disable the ssh-agent you edit /etc/X11/Xsession.options; to enable the gpg-agent you edit ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf; to enable ssh support in gpg you edit ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf; and to disable ssh support in gnome- keyring (the default) you have to hack around in /etc/xdg/autostart /gnome-keyring-*.desktop. It’s a real mess. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1257706 Title: gpg-agent environment variables not correctly exported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg2/+bug/1257706/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
