package offering: gnupg


Hi!

After the recent discussion about GnuPG 1.0.7 and the recluctance of the
official maintainers concerning cygwin/mingw support I might as well
offer it as a package.

Here's the setup.hint and the URLs:

sdesc: "GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage."
ldesc: "GNU Privacy Guard is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage.
It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. GnuPG is a
complete and free replacement for PGP. It includes an advanced key management
facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as
described in RFC 2440."
category: Utils
requires: cygwin libintl1 zlib

URLs:
http://www.scytek.de/cygwin_gnupg/setup.hint
http://www.scytek.de/cygwin_gnupg/gnupg-1.0.7-1.tar.bz2
http://www.scytek.de/cygwin_gnupg/gnupg-1.0.7-1-src.tar.bz2

The packaging process was based on Method Two from
http://cygwin.com/setup.html#package_contents .
Please let me know if there are problems or bugs.

I tested the basic functionality of the package on a Win2K and a Win98SE
system, both with cygwin 1.3.10 and all binary mounts.
See also gnupg.README for some details.

Bye

Port Notes:

----- version 1.0.7-1 -----
Initial release.
* Uses /dev/random
* Uses cygwin file system.
* Use env. variable GNUPGHOME instead of windows registry for cygwin.
* You find build instructions for a windows native executable (MinGW) after
  $ cd /usr/src
  $ ./gnupg-1.0.7-1.sh prep
  in /usr/src/gnupg-1.0.7-1/CYGWIN-PATCHES/gnupg.MinGW.README

----- changelog -----
2002-06-05  Volker Quetschke  <quetschke@scytek.de>

	* configure.ac: (same as patch in cvs) Added check for strcasecmp
	and strncasecmp. Removed stricmp and memicmp checks.

	* rndw32.c: [mingw] Enabled winioctl.h for mingw builds with cygwin,
	I don't know if this bothers pure mingw installations without cygwin.

2002-06-01  Volker Quetschke  <quetschke@scytek.de>

	* configure.ac: Remove unnecessary cases for cygwin. Cygwin (Version
	1.3.10 and up) doesn't need the AC_DEFINE()s for USE_ONLY_8DOT3,
	HAVE_DRIVE_LETTERS, HAVE_DOSISH_SYSTEM, USE_SIMPLE_GETTEXT and does
	have a /dev/random. This repairs also the $(RANLIB) variable for
	cygwin, it wasn't set for cygwin and try_gettext="no" and the build
	stopped. Also added $(EXEEXT) for the files in DYNAMIC_CIPHER_MODS
	to help automake. 

	* g10/exec.c: Use cygwin fileaccess instead of windows fileaccess for
	cygwin. ATTENTION! Gnupg now uses the mount table of cygwin. You can
	still use drive letters but use "/" instead of "\".
	E.g: gnupg -e c:/temp/important.doc

	* g10/passphrase: Use cygwin fileaccess instead of windows fileaccess
	for cygwin. Use the POSIX variant of gpg agent for cygwin not the
	windows registry. See warning above.

	* g10/g10.c: Use env. variable GNUPGHOME instead of windows registry
	for cygwin.

	* g10/gpgv.c: Use env. variable GNUPGHOME instead of windows registry
	for cygwin.
