It has a different design philosophy that splits - functionality up into several modules. Both versions may be - installed simultaneously without any conflict (gpg is called gpg2 in - GnuPG 2). In fact, the gpg version from GnuPG 1.4 is able to make - use of the gpg-agent as included in GnuPG 2 and allows for seamless - passphrase caching. The advantage of GnuPG 1.4 is its smaller size - and no dependency on other modules at run and build time. +* Installing GnuPG 2.2. and GnuPG 1.4 + + GnuPG 2.2 is a current version of GnuPG with state of the art + security design and many more features. To install both versions + alongside, it is suggested to rename the 1.4 version of "gpg" to + "gpg1" as well as the corresponding man page. Newer releases of the + 1.4 branch will likely do this by default. In case this is not + possible, the 2.2 version can be installed under the name "gpg2" + using the configure option --enable-gpg-is-gpg2. * HOW TO GET MORE INFORMATION |
