Talk:HOWTO KMail gpg-agent kde

From Gentoo Linux Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

one thing worth mentioning here is when your default shell is different from bash and you are using bash scripts in ~/.kde/env/ you have to add option --sh:

eval `gpg-agent --daemon`

[edit] Use flag

Though the USE flag "crypt" makes sense, it wasn't necessary with me. Maybe crypt is set by default? I couldn't find any of the mentioned packages to have a crypt use flag. Some more information would be helpful.


Dear anonymous, no, it is used here:
File: /usr/portage/kde-base/kmail/kmail-3.5.2-r4.ebuild
...
RDEPEND="${DEPEND}
        crypt? ( app-crypt/pinentry )
...
So the "crypt" USE flag should make it unnecessary to emerge pinentry manually.
Btw: equery hasuse crypt or equery h crypt would have shown that easily ;-)
