Guess it's never been clear to you in upstream announcement that gnupg-1 BENEFITS from gnupg-2 co-existing. Again go back and read the announcement. > as gnupg-2 does all gnupg-1 does, It does NOT, do a comparison of command line args. > there > is no point in slotting, forcing users to mess with eselect in order > to resolve the dependency of other packages with gnupg. You keep bringing up eselect when there is NO need. Apps that are designed for gnupg2 call gpg2 or link to the -2 version of the .so. Done, and NO need for eselect. That BS has flown, been sold, or bought for over a year now :) Try again with some more BS reasons not to slot :) > You can always mask >=gnupg-2 if you want the 1.X series on embedded > devices.
