Bug 324785 – <=evolution-2.31.2 does not support strong GPG keys

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Hans de Graaff 2010-06-20 10:04:41 UTC]

The GnuPG and SMIME support in evolution only supports the SHA-1 hash signature, which makes it impossible to use stronger keys based on e.g. SHA-2. See the upsteam bug report for more details.

I have backported the upstream patches to evolution 2.28 and evolution 2.30. I'm currently testing these in my own overlay graaff. I'll attach the evolution 2.30 patches here as well.

Looks better to wait for 2.32 since that patches break API:

Closing then, we will wait for 2.32

Makes sense for the official tree, but I'll keep patches ebuilds for 2.28 and 2.30 in my overlay for those who need the stronger keys.

Closing fixed, thanks for reporting.
