gnupg2 (2.4.7-4) experimental; urgency=medium The upstream GnuPG project now explicitly and deliberately diverges from the OpenPGP standard. Debian's own workflows rely heavily on OpenPGP, and we ship several different OpenPGP implementations, so interoperability via standardization is a priority for the project. While Debian still has significant dependencies on GnuPG, the version of GnuPG shipped in Debian will default to emitting only OpenPGP-compatible artifacts if at all possible. As of 2.4.7-4, the default is --compliance=openpgp, and we apply several patches to ensure that this mode is respected. If you observe GnuPG in Debian emitting a non-OpenPGP artifact in a scenario where a standard OpenPGP artifact is intended or expected, please open a critical bug report in the Debian BTS. If you want Debian's GnuPG to emit non-standardized artifacts, in line with upstream's deliberate divergence, you can explicitly pass --compliance=gnupg (or set the corresponding option in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf). If you revert to compliance with upstream defaults, do not expect the material you produce to be interoperable with other OpenPGP implementations. -- Daniel Kahn Gillmor Fri, 07 Feb 2025 23:35:29 -0500 gnupg2 (2.2.27-2) unstable; urgency=medium Starting with version 2.2.27-1, per-user configuration of the GnuPG suite has completely moved to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf, and ~/.gnupg/options is no longer in use. Please rename the file if necessary, or move its contents to the new location. -- Christoph Biedl Thu, 22 Apr 2021 20:37:45 +0200 gnupg2 (2.2.17-1) unstable; urgency=medium Upstream GnuPG now defaults to not accepting third-party certifications from the keyserver network. Given that the SKS keyserver network is under attack via certificate flooding, and third-party certifications will not be accepted anyway, we now ship with the more tightly-constrained and abuse-resistant system hkps://keys.openpgp.org as the default keyserver. Users with bandwidth to spare who want to try their luck with the SKS pool should add the following line to ~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf to revert to upstream's default keyserver: keyserver hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net See the 2.2.17 section in the upstream NEWS file at /usr/share/doc/gnupg/NEWS.gz for more information about fully reverting to the old, risky behavior. -- Daniel Kahn Gillmor Thu, 11 Jul 2019 22:12:07 -0400 gnupg2 (2.1.11-7+exp1) experimental; urgency=medium The gnupg package now provides the "modern" version of GnuPG. Please read /usr/share/doc/gnupg/README.Debian for details about the transition from "classic" to "modern" -- Daniel Kahn Gillmor Wed, 30 Mar 2016 09:59:35 -0400
