EasyPG 0.0.1, yet another GnuPG interface for Emacs

EasyPG 0.0.1, yet another GnuPG interface for Emacs

[Daiki Ueno]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 775 bytes --]

Hello,

Let me announce the initial release of EasyPG, yet another GnuPG
interface for Emacs.  It consists of two parts:

* "The EasyPG Assistant", a GUI frontend of GnuPG
* "The EasyPG Library", a library to interact with GnuPG

The EasyPG Assistant provides the following features:

    * Cryptographic operations are usable from dired mode.
    * Keyring management interface.
    * Transparent encryption/decryption of *.gpg files.

The EasyPG Library provides the following features:

    * The API covers most functions of GnuPG.
    * Designed to avoid potential security pitfalls around Emacs.

EasyPG is available from http://www.easypg.org/
NOTE: EasyPG is neither a fork nor a re-implementation of PGG.  It can
be usable as a PGG backend.

Regards,

I love it!  Works great in SXEmacs.  I can't wait for the rest of the
GnuPG command set to be implemented. :-)

Speaking of gpg, `pgg-verify-region' makes Gnus flash when reading
signed messages.  Is there a way to disable buffer display updates
while calling a function?  I seem to remember there being a variable
to bind or something, but I can't seem to find it now.

Hello 

Thanks for that. I tried for a long time to implement the feature to
encrypt/decrypt files in dired mode. Thanks again!

There are 2 problems:

    -  The README file  talks about (or M-x epg-dired-do-encrypt),
       however I only have (M-x epa-dired-do-encrypt) so I think this
       is a typo.

    -  More seriously how to include epg into gnus. According to the
       webpage, this is done by
       (setq pgg-scheme 'epg)
       however when I then want to sign a message, I obtain an error
       which I attach.

What is the problem?

Thanks.  I corrected this in CVS.
The next version will be released on May 29th.

You need to download and install pgg-epg.el from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.jp/epg/20001/pgg-epg.el

Well, there still is the problem that this version of pgg-epg.el
is not compatible to the cvs version of gnus / pgg. On my No gnus 0.4
I get a message saying that pgg-text-mode wasn't defined. This problem
doesn't occur when using gnus 5.11 bundled with emacs 22.

Regards.

The current released version of No gnus is 0.5 and the CVS version
claims that it is 0.6.  pgg-text-mode is defined in both of them.  Are
you using a bit older version?

As I said, I'm using No gnus 0.4. When I found the difference between
this version and v5.11 as described before, I assumed that there had
been a general change. Sorry for not checking the current cvs before
making noise. And before somebody complains about me fuzzing about No
gnus 0.4: No, I'm not strictly referring to the original 0.4 release
but to the packaged version in Dapper.

Elias

Should we add pgg-epg.el to Gnus CVS?  Would you want to maintain it
there?  Generally, I think it would be excellent if you could take
care of PGG in Gnus CVS, I don't have enough spare time to be a good
maintainer of it.

Come to think of it... any plans to make EasyPG part of Emacs?  It
seems like a very nice package, and seem to enable us to support
S/MIME from Gnus through GnuPG too.

Thanks I did that, but then, when I signed, successfully, a message, I
can't see a difference to the old, no pgg-epg interface. Or what do I
miss?

pgg-epg only provides the old PGG interface and doesn't provide any
additional ones.  However, by using EasyPG, some missing features of PGG
can be implemented

- Signing a message by multiple keys
- Better display of "signed and encrypted" messages
- Selection of recipients' keys / signing keys from your keyring

Indeed, these are already implemented for SEMI and now I'm using it.
