Gnus NoCeM and EasyPG

Gnus NoCeM and EasyPG

Hi,

gnus-nocem.el still uses PGG.  Isn't it better to use EasyPG by
default?  The patch I've already verified is below.  To use this,
set `gnus-use-nocem' to t, or the number of group level that you
have set to nntp groups.  Cf. (info "(gnus)NoCeM")

2009-02-17  Katsumi Yamaoka  <yamaoka@jpl.org>

	* gnus-nocem.el (gnus-nocem-groups): Remove invalid NoCeM groups.
	(gnus-nocem-issuers): List currently active issuers.
	(gnus-nocem-verifyer): Default to gnus-nocem-epg-verify.
	(gnus-nocem-epg-verify): New function.

I don't use NoCeM but I agree that using epg is better. I asked in
Emacs-devel whether pgg should be obsolete some time ago and it was
confirmed that that is intended.

Best wishes,

Please add a custom :version (default changed) for the variables.

Bye, Reiner.

Thanks.  You meant the patch is worth installing, didn't you?
I wasn't sure because it's not a bug fix and Gnus still bundles
PGG.  I'll install it along with updating the Info.
