Support new functions of GPGME

Open duckdalbe opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Do you plan to work on support the new functions of GPGME 1.7 soon?

I'm especially interested in gpgme_op_createkey, gpgme_op_createsubkey, gpgme_op_adduid, and gpgme_op_revuid. They would make my life easier. Unfortunately I'm not fluent enough in C to do it myself.

Yes. When updating the bundled GPGME tarball we usually expose new functions, like https://github.com/ueno/ruby-gpgme/commit/46533d6de0d10d0b4d4b01995a949219815279a8. PRs are welcome.

This appears to have stalled?

Isn't there anyone interested in the new features and fluent enough in C to implement them?

Hey @duckdalbe - it's a pretty big question there. Is there a specific function(s) that you're in need of? No point doing work no-one needs, but if there's demand that's a good place to start.

Hey @dansketcher, thank you for your reply!

I'm mostly interested in the functions to create and manipulate keys.

  • gpgme_op_createkey
  • gpgme_op_createsubkey
  • gpgme_op_adduid
  • gpgme_op_set_uid_flag
  • gpgme_op_keysign

Right now I have to write XML (create) and shell out (manipulate) to gpg to do that, which I don't don't like.

Additionally I'm also interested in the [n]ew encryption API to support direct key specification including
hidden recipients option and taking keys from a file. (I guess that is gpgme_op_encrypt_ext and cousins).
