I'm having the same problem with psi-0.11_pre20070314 (upgraded to see if it will disappear)and pinentry 0.7.3. A friend of mine is using Debian and has no such problems with the same versions. same problem here. equery uses psi [ Searching for packages matching psi... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend : Left column (U) -

Specifically pinentry does NOT cache the passphrase. That is the task of the agent. If there is no agent available, it doesn't get cached... Add crypto herd. True. gnupg-2 requires agent running for caching. Please try: gpg-agent --daemon bash <run psi from this shell> Just want to know, troll are you available in some way? I did not see you handle any of the bugs assigned to you. It works now with net-im/psi-0.11_pre2007031. Thanks :) Please explain what is working... What about 0.10? Have you checked this? Well, now it doesn't ask for a password everytime you receive an encrypted message or change your status. Unfortunately I haven't tested with 0.10, but will try it as soon as I can. OK. Please reopen if you have any further issues. This is actually a non-issue. If the gpg-ebuilds would allow installing gpg1 and gpg2 in parallel (which is what they were designed for), psi would flawlessly work without changing a single line of code Also, I doubt that gpg-agent will really help with psi, because as far as I understand, gpg-agent only lets you chose how long (as in timeout) your passphrase should be cached, whereas psi is designed to decide for itself how long to cache the passphrase. Just tested it, version 0.10-r3 also has no problems after the command gpg-agent --daemon bash (In reply to comment #11) > This is actually a non-issue. If the gpg-ebuilds would allow installing gpg1 > and gpg2 in parallel (which is what they were designed for), psi would > flawlessly work without changing a single line of code This is irrelevant to this bug. Applications should work also if user choose to install only gpg-2. And if a gpg-2 only configuration is available, why force gpg-1 on all systems that have gpg-2 installed? Also, there was no change in any line of code for 0.11, 0.10 was released before gnupg-2, so a minor fixups applied. > Also, I doubt that gpg-agent will really help with psi, because as far as I > understand, gpg-agent only lets you chose how long (as in timeout) your > passphrase should be cached, whereas psi is designed to decide for itself how > long to cache the passphrase. Don't doubt or guess, check it out, if it does not work for you please describe the issue. As for passphrase cache, gpg-2 does not allow applications to cache passphrase as the applications tends to do this in unsecured manner. As far as I talked to Justin (psi developer), he is aware of this. On gpg-2 passphrase cache is maintained by gpg-agent, and the cache settings can be configured as options for gpg-agent. (In reply to comment #12) > Just tested it, version 0.10-r3 also has no problems after the command > gpg-agent --daemon bash Thank you for your help. wolfgang: "whereas psi is designed to decide for itself how long to cache the passphrase." gpg-agent allows applications to decide how long to cache for, but it handles getting the passphrase and the cache itself. Off the top of my head, using the Assuan protocol to the agent: GET_PASSPHRASE $CACHE_ID .... CLEAR_PASSPHRASE $CACHE_ID To explicitly request or forgot the passphrase. There is another one that manages the timeout. (In reply to comment #15) > Off the top of my head, using the Assuan protocol to the agent: > GET_PASSPHRASE $CACHE_ID .... > CLEAR_PASSPHRASE $CACHE_ID But gpg --server does not expose these... :) gpg exposes: OPTION use-cache-for-signing=0|1 And there is no option to redirect raw options for the agent... (There is from the agent to the smartcard daemon...) |
