I've been trying to find why I am unable to use GnuPG-agent to sign my |
| 2 |
messages in KMail, and rather have to type in a password in all the time |
| 3 |
through KGPG. The problem is that the GnuPG agent in the x86 area is version |
| 4 |
1.4.2.2, yet KMail demands verison 1.9 |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I don't think it wise to change to ~x86, yet I still would like to use GnuPG's |
| 7 |
agent. I think my options are as such: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1) Download version 1.9 from GnuPG's website and install it. Why haven't I |
| 10 |
done this? I don't know how to install something in Gentoo without it being |
| 11 |
as simple as emerge. I don't know how to install from a file on the hard |
| 12 |
drive. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
2) Forget KMail and signing my messages and go back to GMail. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
3) Continue typing in my password every time I send a email. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
4) Hack my way through some older versions of KMail and rip out the demand |
| 19 |
for a new version of GnuPG and replace it with the older part of KMail that |
| 20 |
could work with 1.4. Not a fun idea, 'cause I want to go do other things. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I find it curious that such a problem is living in current source repository |
| 23 |
for Gentoo. I'm positive this isn't intentional, but at very least I'd like |
| 24 |
to know if anything's being done to fix it. Plus, if GnuPG 1.9 is so |
| 25 |
experimental, then how can KMail need 1.9? It makes no sense to me... |

Thanks for your help! |
