* doc: Fix fix "Not(e) that you can(not) abbreviate".Werner Koch2016-09-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | -- The commands --help, --version, --dump-options are special in that they can't be abbreciated on the command line. This is to avoid problems with regular options with the same prefix. Fixes-commit: 0a27d8a57c4c990fcada4278a1ce2e6fc9043e9 Signed-off-by: Werner Koch <[email protected]>

Add "agent-ssh-socket". -- This change makes the use of gpgconf in scripts easier. For example, to set the envvar with the name of the socket used by ssh, it is now possible to do this: SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$(gpgconf --list-dirs agent-ssh-socket)" which guarantees that the right name is used.

(main): Replace allow-loopback-pinentry by no-allow-loopback-pinentry in the gpgconf list. * tools/gpgconf-comp.c (gc_options_gpg_agent): Ditto. -- Given that a user can anyway change that options in the gpg-agent.conf file and that gpg needs to be invoked with --pinentry-mode=loopback the former default does not make much sense - in that option is useful at all. There was a discussion of this topic on gnupg-devel in April without a clear result. So we try this new default and just in case real problems are found for the majority of installations, we can revert that. The new default is also aligned with GnuPG's policy to make its use easier and only require users with very high security standards to tweak certain options (those users have anyway modeled their threat model and configured their software according to this).
