I'm trying to get `gpg-wks-client`, but I can't find a way to get it installed.

I'm installing `=app-crypt/gnupg-2.2.41`, and tried the USEs "tools" and "wks-server", to no avail.

When I emerge the package with `FEATURE="keepwork"` and inspect the build directory, I can see that `gpg-wks-client` has been built in the `tools/` directory, but it's never installed (I don't see either anything related to installing it in the ebuild file, despite mentioning a workaround for when using `gpg-wks-client --send`).

I'm not sure if it's missing on purpose. Was it considered just not useful? For the record, the reason why I need it is to install a static version of a Web Key Directory : https://wiki.gnupg.org/WKDHosting

Do you have the build log as well?

Note that gpg-wks-client is not installed to $PATH, I do not know why upstream decided this... it should be in /usr/libexec/gpg-wks-client instead.

(I have it installed.)

Oh, my apologies. I bogusly assumed it would be in `/usr/bin/`, I have it in `/usr/libexec/` as well.

Thanks for your time and help, I'm closing the ticket.

No worries. The reason I know this is because I made the same assumption you did, once upon a time.
