Hi,
42.2 is out of the door, time to relax and wait for the Christmas holidays, right? Well, far from that. We have to prepare for the next release.
thinking of 42.2, which caused some heavy thoughts about most of the systems I care about, makes me raising some questions: 1. Gnome Keyring stopped dealing with GPG keys in 42.2; as a result users of Thunderbird+Enigmail, Mutt+gpg-extensions etc. are driving nuts due to repeatedly typing in their passphrase every once in a while. This could be overcome (== worked-around) by using the former GNOME Keyring version 3.16.0 (see also boo#1012371). 2. What is the alternative suggested to that change in 42.2? A newer version of pinentry was mentioned in GNOME Keyring's changelog, but it appears that none of the versions available for Leap 42.2 actually *fix* the problem. This is a significant issue to all of the users of Leap 42.2 I'm taking care of here, so, with respect to a similar situation we had, when 42.1 had been released (boo#953100), I'm asking to take care of such user visible changes. What will be the suggested/recommended way to get GNOME and GPG happy with each other? TIA, cheers. l8er manfred
