34 <para>The <application>GnuPG</application> package is GNU's tool for
35 secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and
36 to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management
37 facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as
38 described in RFC2440 and the S/MIME standard as described by several RFCs.
39 GnuPG 2 is the stable version of GnuPG integrating support for OpenPGP and

108 <warning>
109 <para>
110 If you are upgrading from gnupg prior to version 2.1, upstream
111 developers recommend to backup
112 <filename class="directory">~/.gnupg</filename>, because some additional
113 configuration will probably be necessary, and you could lose your keys.
114 You can find instructions at
115 <ulink url="http://jo-ke.name/wp/?p=111"></ulink> and
116 <ulink url="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#.22Lost.22_keys.2C_upgrading_to_gnupg_version_2.1"></ulink>.
117 </para>
118 </warning>
119
120 <para>If the top directory path where the source is unpacked contains
121 symbolic links, the openpgp tests may fail. If this is your case and
122 you wish to run the test suite, fix that with:</para>
