The GnuPG package comes without out-of-the-box IDEA support, for well ... whatever reasons. This is very annoying because without IDEA GnuPG cannot communicate with older PGP versions. Thus, I usually compile the IDEA module myself and load it as an shared object into GnuPG at run-time. Would it be possible to change the GnuPG ebuild to install this module automatically? (You can just copy it into the unpacked source tree before compiling to achieve the same without depending on shared objects.) Maybe controlled by an USE flag? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 22656 [details, diff] patch to enable idea support Created small patch to enable idea in gnupg. Support is built-in when USE="idea" is specified. Please read http://www.gnupg.org/why-not-idea.html about IDEA-patent issues. Use should be free in most countries for non-commercials as far as I understand.
IDEA support is optional in 1.2.4, I wasnt subscribed to this bug so didnt know about your patch until i'd already written it..sorry! RESOLVED FIXED.
