What exactly does gpg2 offer that makes it more suitable than gpg for most usage?
I believe they rewrote gnupg-agent to actually make it secure - like ssh-agent - instead of just storing your passphase it stores the private key and denies any processes getting direct access to the unencrypted private key. This also has other advantages apart from just security. However, I haven't used gpg2 enough yet to know how to use this just yet. -- Brian May <brian@linuxpenguins.xyz> https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/
