* NEWS: Update. * doc/gpgme.texi (gpgme_op_createkey): Clarify the meaning of the 'expire' parameter. (GPGME_CREATE_NOEXPIRE): Document new flag. (gpgme_op_createsubkey): Clarify the meaning of the 'expire' parameter. * src/engine-gpg.c (gpg_add_algo_usage_expire): Fix handling of the expiration time. * src/gpgme.h.in (GPGME_CREATE_NOEXPIRE): New macro. -- Previously, the documentation stated that the expiration time was an absolute timestamp. However, this value was passed using the 'seconds=N' syntax to GnuPG which specifies the expiration time in seconds relative to the creation time. Fix the documentation. Furthermore, the documentation stated that using 0 results in keys that do not expire. This was communicated to GnuPG by using the implicit default. However, as of GnuPG 2.1.17, the default was changed to create keys that expire within a reasonable timespan. Fix this discrepancy by aligning the behavior with recent GnuPG versions: 0 means use a reasonable default, and introduce a flag that can be used to create keys that do not expire. Communicate this explicitly to GnuPG. Signed-off-by: Justus Winter <justus@g10code.com> |
