EasyPG 0.0.5

EasyPG 0.0.5

Hello,

The 5th release of EasyPG is available from http://www.easypg.org.

EasyPG is a GnuPG interface for Emacs.  It has two aspects: convenient
tools which allow to use GnuPG from Emacs (EasyPG Assistant), and a
fully functional interface library to GnuPG (EasyPG Library.)

* Major changes in 0.0.5

** New user option epg-gpg-home-directory.

** New function epg-check-configuration which checks if there is a
   suitable GnuPG executable installed.

** pgg-epg.el: Provide pgg-lookup-key for backward compatibility.

** Allow non-ASCII characters in a passphrase.
   The coding system to use can be controlled by
   epg-locale-coding-system whose default value is taken from
   locale-coding-system.

Thanks a lot, I just installed it here and will keep trying it.

Overall, I have experienced easypg to be faster and more robust than
pgg or any of the other solutions available.

There is one problem I am experiencing, however: In FSFE we make use
of aliases that expand to several people, and we use encryption for
such groups. GnuPG provides a way to do this by adding lines

 group X@Y.Z=address1@something address2@something.else ...

to the gpg.conf.

With pgg, this was never a problem, but easypg fails with

 Wrong type argument: epg-key-p, nil

and that's that.

What would be the way to fix this problem?

Regards,
Georg

I could reproduce the problem and identified the cause...

PGG just passes the recipient's address to GnuPG as a string, whereas
EPG resolves which keys are really used (you will see the behavior if
mml2015-verbose is set.)  The problem is - EPG doesn't refer to the
"group" configuration.

I'll fix it for the next release.  Sorry for inconvenience.

I've just fixed it in CVS.  If you have chance, please give it a try

$ cvs -z9 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/root co epg
$ cd epg && autoreconf -f -i

You will need to upgrade Gnus as well.

I just updated epg and gnus from CVS.

It no longer throws an error, but it fails to encrypt for the group.

The only person who can decrypt appears to be me -- my guess is that
it does this because I always do encrypt to self.

Georg

Ah, sorry.  There was a typo in epg-config.el.  I've fixed it in CVS.

I can confirm that this solves the issue.

I now discover that I have some trust override issues. Is there any
way to easily determine which is the subkey that creates those issues,
and to maybe set that behaviour in easypg?

Georg

What's the replacement for pgg-snarf-keys-region?
,----
| pgg-snarf-keys-region is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `pgg.el'.
| (pgg-snarf-keys-region START END)
| 
| Import public keys in the current region between START and END.

That is M-x epa-import-keys, though it reads keys from a file.  I would
insert a region-based counterpart, if it is convenient.

Do you mean that you see "untrusted_key.override? (y or n) " when
encrypting?

Since PGG specifies "--always-trust" option the issue has never arise.
Of course it's a wrong solution, but there seems no way to determine the
subject key from the status output of gpg.
