From 201f86803017c1db373023f7b506d4a0dc644bbc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Kahn Gillmor Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2017 10:51:55 -0400 Subject: g10: Remove skeleton options files. * build-aux/speed/w32/inst.nsi: stop installing skeleton files. * doc/gpg.texi: stop documenting skeleton files. * g10/Makefile.am: stop installing skeleton files. * g10/openfile.c (copy_options_file): Remove. (try_make_homedir): do not call copy_options_file. -- The defaults for gpg and dirmngr are good. Both programs should work fine for the simple case without any config file. The skeleton config files were being copied at first use (when the defaults are fine). But when the user needs to fiddle with them (after they've become sophisticated users), they're likely out of date because gpg has been upgraded since then. So they're used for documentation, but they're stale documentation, which is probably worse than a clean empty file.
