%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ GnuPG The GnuPG package is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440 and the S/MIME standard as described by several RFCs. GnuPG 2 is the stable version of GnuPG integrating support for OpenPGP and S/MIME. &lfs80_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &gnupg2-md5sum; Download size: &gnupg2-size; Estimated disk space required: &gnupg2-buildsize; Estimated build time: &gnupg2-time; GnuPG 2 Dependencies Required , , , , and Recommended (Run-time requirement for most of the package's functionality) Optional , , (for the convert utility, used for generating the documentation), , an , , , (or ), fig2dev (for generating documentation), and GNU adns User Notes: If you are upgrading from gnupg prior to version 2.1, upstream developers recommend to backup ~/.gnupg, because some additional configuration will probably be necessary, and you could lose your keys. You can find instructions at and . If the top directory path where the source is unpacked contains symbolic links, the openpgp tests may fail. If this is your case and you wish to run the test suite, fix that with: sed -e '/noinst_SCRIPTS = gpg-zip/c sbin_SCRIPTS += gpg-zip' \ -i tools/Makefile.in Some tests will hang infinitely without modifications. If you will run the tests, comment the failing portions of the tests: sed -i -e '/^ test_agent_protect/s:^://:' agent/t-protect.c && sed -i -e '174,186 s/^/;;/' tests/openpgp/ecc.scm Install GnuPG by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-symcryptrun \ --enable-maintainer-mode \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/gnupg-&gnupg2-version; && make && makeinfo --html --no-split \ -o doc/gnupg_nochunks.html doc/gnupg.texi && makeinfo --plaintext \ -o doc/gnupg.txt doc/gnupg.texi If you have installed and you wish to create documentation in alternate formats, issue the following commands: make -C doc pdf ps html To test the results, issue: make check. Note that if you have already installed GnuPG, the instructions below will overwrite /usr/share/man/man1/gpg-zip.1. Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gnupg-&gnupg2-version;/html && install -v -m644 doc/gnupg_nochunks.html \ /usr/share/doc/gnupg-&gnupg2-version;/html/gnupg.html && install -v -m644 doc/*.texi doc/gnupg.txt \ /usr/share/doc/gnupg-&gnupg2-version; The BLFS editors recommend the creation of symlinks for compatibility with the first version of GnuPG, because some programs or scripts need them. Issue, as root user: for f in gpg gpgv do ln -svf ${f}2.1 /usr/share/man/man1/$f.1 && ln -svf ${f}2 /usr/bin/$f done unset f If you created alternate formats of the documentation, install it using the following command as the root user: install -v -m644 doc/gnupg.html/* \ /usr/share/doc/gnupg-&gnupg2-version;/html && install -v -m644 doc/gnupg.{pdf,dvi,ps} \ /usr/share/doc/gnupg-&gnupg2-version; sed ... tools/Makefile.in: This command is needed to build the gpg-zip program. --docdir=/usr/share/doc/gnupg-&gnupg2-version;: This switch changes the default docdir to /usr/share/doc/gnupg-&gnupg2-version;. --enable-symcryptrun: This switch enables building the symcryptrun program. --enable-maintainer-mode: This switch is needed for proper completion of the tests. --enable-g13: This switch enables building the g13 program.

It is used as a backend for gpg2 and gpgsm as well as for a couple of other utilities. gpg-agent gpg-connect-agent is a utility used to communicate with a running gpg-agent. gpg-connect-agent gpg (optional) is a symlink to gpg2 for compatibility with the first version of GnuPG. gpg gpg2 is the OpenPGP part of the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG). It is a tool used to provide digital encryption and signing services using the OpenPGP standard. gpg2 gpgconf is a utility used to automatically and reasonably safely query and modify configuration files in the ~/.gnupg home directory. It is designed not to be invoked manually by the user, but automatically by graphical user interfaces. gpgconf gpgparsemail is a utility currently only useful for debugging. Run it with --help for usage information. gpgparsemail gpgscm executes the given scheme program or spawns an interactive shell. gpgscm gpgsm is a tool similar to gpg2 used to provide digital encryption and signing services on X.509 certificates and the CMS protocol. It is mainly used as a backend for S/MIME mail processing. gpgsm gpgtar is a tool to encrypt or sign files into an archive. gpgtar gpgv (optional) is a symlink to gpgv2 for compatibility with the first version of GnuPG. gpgv gpgv2 is a verify only version of gpg2. gpgv2 gpg-zip encrypts or signs files into an archive. gpg-zip kbxutil is used to list, export and import Keybox data. kbxutil symcryptrun is a simple symmetric encryption tool. symcryptrun watchgnupg is used to listen to a Unix Domain socket created by any of the GnuPG tools. watchgnupg
