* moved single encrytion examples up to the first ones, pending merge
and major cut.
* This is basically just to make future checks of revisions a little easier.
* Fixed a minor typographic error.
* Bumped version number in preparation for merge with master.
* While there are probably a few more things worthy of being added
(mainly how to revoke things), this document is essentially ready
for publication now.
Signed-off-by: Ben McGinnes <ben@adversary.org>
* Added a new user ID for Danger Mouse.
* Removed the empty entry for key preferences since that is handled
through gpg.conf and/or editing the key directly.
* Clarified which English dialects this is written in.
* Translating to American can happen *after* it's done.
** The Yank version would probably want to change some of the examples
anyway.
* Began the description for normal/default signing.
* Added a section on key selection.
* Included recommendation for using fingerprint when selecting one
specific key.
* Also included the most ironically amusing example of multiple key
selection in a GPG guide. Hey, it's public data ... (heh).
* Added explanation of the ascendance of Python 3 over Python 2 in the
guide to the intro.
* Expanded key selection description so people know what not to
include regarding key IDs with this key selection method.
* During the course of working out the updated signature methods,
determined that key selection (including counting) will beed to be
presented before the basic functions.
* Moved "working with keys" up.
* Added a miscellaneous work-arounds section at the end.
* Included code in said miscellaneous section for accessing the groups
specified in a gpg.conf file.
* It's a bit ugly since it does require subprocess (but not call,
Popen or shell access and only accesses one command).
* updated multi-encryption final example to be complete.
* second example shows most likely method of reading plaintext.
* updated example filenames to stick with running gag
(i.e. secret_plans.txt).
* error corrections.
* multiple typesetting fixes only required due to certain archaic
eccentricities of LaTeX.
* a couple of minor python PEP8 compliance corrections.
* Added a more complicated encryption example with a few variations on
the encryption method to account for untrusted recipient keys,
signing or not signing, including or excluding default keys and so
on.
* Switched from links to some external docs to using footnotes where
necessary.
* Ideally the howto should be as stand alone as possible.
* Also it makes it difficult to convert to another format for
proof-reading if there are links that the conversion can't find.
* Wrote the text description explaining each step in the most basic
encryption operation.
* Will need to include additional examples for encrypting to multiple
recipients using Context().encrypt instead of Context().op_encrypt.
* Added all four signing code examples that are most likely to be
used: armoured, clearsigned, detached armoured and detached binary.
* May remove some examples and just discuss the differences, but it
depends on the way the text is filled out.
* Added sample code for encrypting some text to a single key.
* Basically I'm just lifting existing production code and changing the
key IDs from mine to "0x12345678DEADBEEF" for these first few
examples.
* I'll fill in the text description after.
* Note: due to my regional location, I might split some tasks into
more commits in order to be sure no work gets lost in case of
emergency (or to put it another way: I know Telstra too well to
trust them).
* Added a section for those pythonistas who are too used to web
programming. Stressed that it's not simply not RESTful, it's not
even REST-like.
* Letting me move on to drawing a very loose parallel between a
session and a context. The differences should become obvious in the
subsequent sections.
* Some instructions to include are fairly obvious; as with encryption,
decryption and signature verification.
* Some are a little less obvious.
* This includes the requests received to specifically include subkey
management (adding and revoking subkeys on a primary key that's
being retained.
* Added the UID equivalents to the list, as well as key selection
matters (and may or may not include something for handling group
lines since that involves wrapping a CLI binary).
* Key control documentation and examples requested by Mike Ingle of
confidantmail.org.
* removed one bit of whitespace.
* Marked up references to gpgme.h.
* Fixed one spelling error.
* Removed py2.6 from python search order since even if it is
supported, it shouldn't be encouraged.
* Started work on the GPGME Python bindings HOWTO.
* 1,050 words to begin with at approx. 7.5KB.
* Got as far as installation.
* Includes instruction not to use PyPI for this.
