g10: Implement gpg --quick-revuid
* g10/revoke.c (get_default_uid_revocation_reason): New. * g10/keyedit.c (menu_revuid): Break out creation of uid revocation into new function core_revuid. * g10/keyedit.c (keyedit_quick_revuid): New. Selects key and uid, invokes core_revuid. * g10/gpg.c (main): Handle --quick-revuid argument. * doc/gpg.texi: Document --quick-revuid. -- This functionality is a counterpart to --quick-adduid, and will be useful for projects that depend programmatically on gpg to revoke user IDs (one such example is "monkeysphere-host revoke-servicename"). Signed-off-by: Daniel Kahn Gillmor <[email protected]> - Minor re-indentation work. - Changed a "0 == memcmp" to "!memcmp" - Removed tests/openpgp/quick-key-manipulation.test from the Makefile. This test needs to be converted to gpgscm. - Removed example from whats-new-in-2.1.txt because that is generated. Signed-off-by: Werner Koch <[email protected]>
