| Renaming ccrypt-1.9.ebuild as ccrypt-1.10.ebuild seems to be all that is required to make it compile and work in my private portage. |

If this is still of interest: I just stumbled upon the possibility to emerge app-crypt/pinentry-qt and e.g. choose it with eselect (pinentry-qt, not "...-qt4"!), which is capable of copy&paste.

Thanks a lot for this information! This stupid design of not allowing copy/paste in the standard gtk/qt4 implementation of pinentry has just been giving me headaches. pinentry-qt works, the only downside is that it shows the entered password in cleartext, but the copy/paste functionality clearly outweighs that for me. |

gw, et al ...
I got *so* fed up with pinentry screwing up the tty when editing with vim I decided to do something about it, and so I'm bumping this just to say getting the old behavior is infact possible.
/etc/portage/package.mask
| Code: | | >=app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.22 |
... it turns out gnupg-1 is still in portage, and still maintained ... so, voila!
| Code: | # emerge -p app-crypt/gnupg
[ebuild D ] app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.16 |
... depclean pinentry (and deps) ...
| Code: | | # emerge --depclean -a |
... sanity! ...
| Code: | % vim ~/test.gpg
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "khayyam <user@domain.tld>"
4096-bit RSA key, ID FFFFFFFF, created xxxx-xx-xx (main key ID FFFFFFFFF)
Enter passphrase: |
... unlike with pinentry keyboard navigation works (and please, no, this has nothing to do with GPG_TTY, or 'no-grab', etc).
Hopefully that helps someone ....
best ... khay |

Hi all,
sorry for resurrecting that old thread... me too still on gpg1 because of that pinentry-nuisance. Now gnome-base/gvfs-1.26.3 seems to insist on pulling in gpg2. Any way to avoid that (least of masking)? Is there a simple way to make gpg 1 & 2 coexist?
Alternatively, any trick on getting back command line / stdin passphrase input ala gpg1 in gpg2 as well?
Thanks a lot! |
