well.. at the end of man I've:
/usr[/local]/share/gnupg/options.skel
Skeleton options file
That's enough to give a link for any user.
Though I've more options set:
$ grep -v ^\$ /home/olli/.gnupg/gpg.conf | grep -v ^\#| wc -l
41
Closing that part of questions - defaults are there & are system wide.
Idea is patented in some parts of the world and therefore not redistributable. I like the default settings, and personally have only a few options in my $HOME/.gnupg/options: default-key <<keyid>> keyserver wwwkeys.de.pgp.net encrypt-to <<keyid>> no-secmem-warning rfc1991 But some of them are unintended to use by a default user, and the rest is a user specific (and therefore also not good for a global config file). So, which options do you think we should added in a global config file? 1. About IDEA - I know about legal issues. Though I had it working w/ old gpg a few years ago. %) Now it doesn't. Even doing things from how to as is. Though it's not supported by Novell, thus should be discussed within gpg devel mailing list, probably? 2. My gpg.conf is avaliable within https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=153565 As for me the following would be nice in defaults: -----cut------ # armor by default armor # verbose by default verbose # set to treat as binary no-textmode # interactive: prompt on each overwrite interactive # see man keyserver-options include-revoked,include-disabled,no-honor-keyserver-url,include-subkeys,verbose,no-auto-key-retriv e # no even that infoleak . =) set-filename ThisReplacesFileName # no adverts no-greeting # show fingerprint always with-fingerprint -----cut------ Some of above may be already defaults though. The key search (keyserver-options ) may be left commented, since there're advantages and disadvantages of getting all keys, but not only currently valid. Mine gpg.conf may be left as a sample for people, though only after clearing situation w/ 's2' things noted in bug #153565 , since I may be wrong w/ somth. If IDEA was included, then it was done by chance, without checking the legal situation. We cannot add it, as long as the patent exists. Sorry. The given config seems in my point of view not good for every user under any circumstances. They contain some pitfalls, by which scripts/GUIs might break when enabled. Thanks for your input, but we cannot add them. ==> closing this gnupg topic (bugzilla entry) with INVALID okay, idea: agree. as about suggestions: any of lines could trouble some of other apps? Even 'with-fingerprint' and 'no-greeting'? :? Sure. 'greeting' might be an indication (assertion) for a program that subprocess 'gpg' is running. Same with 'fingerprint': enabled might be an unexpected output for another process. There exists tools (scripts), which do such processing, e.g. mail user agents, YaST, and others. |
