I only have a couple of minutes so I apologise for not writing a |
| 38 |
complete answer. FWIW the gpg-agent was hard masked (yesterday?) and |
| 39 |
just adding it to your /etc/portage/package.keywords won't work. You |
| 40 |
need to use package.mask instead. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
However, I'm not sure why the hard masking was put in place - there |
| 43 |
may be a good reason to stop using gpg-agent and instead switch to |
| 44 |
another package. What should we use instead guys? |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
To have gpg-agent starting automatically you need to enter eval |
| 47 |
"$(gpg-agent --daemon)" in the appropriate desktop manager startup |
| 48 |
file(s). Check the gentoo document on this topic (I can't remember if |
| 49 |
I saw it in the wiki). There was also an answer to one of my posts in |
| 50 |
this mailing list on gpg. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
To get it started immediately just run eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon)" |
| 53 |
from a terminal. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
More later. |
