Bug 16457 – gnupg needs to be compiled with --enable-external-hkp for gpa-0.6.1 to work

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description klavs klavsen 2003-02-27 04:49:26 UTC]

gnupg needs to be compiled with --enable-external-hkp for gpa-0.6.1 to work (ie.
be able to import keys).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gnupg
2.emerge gpa
3.try to import any key from any key-server (using hkp protocol)

Actual Results:  
gpa says no such protocol - which is correct, as it uses the protocols compiled
with gnupg - and none where compiled. 

Expected Results:  
import the key :)

Why has no one committed this simple change to the ebuild?

What can I do to make it happen?

The openldap support won't be detectet automaticaly although this should be... 
take a look @  http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2003q1/000266.html

this happened also  with USE="ldap"

The  --enable-external-hkp problem is stil unresolved :(

Well isn't it as easy as adding that to the standard configure commands? no need to even have a USE for it IMHO.

Reassigning bugs due to lack of time.

gnupg-1.2.3 supports external hkp.
