we have many local gpg useflags which basically just enable gpg. Should we merge these to one global useflag?Additionally we have a few gpgme useflags. See also https://bugs.gentoo.org/679634 What are your ideas?We have also have a bunch of USE=pgp and USE=openpgp, both of which are more correct than USE=gpg.Yeah, typical case of "formally correct thing being way more difficult to understand than colloquially practical thing" ...
You are right. I would prefer the formally correct "OpenPGP" after reading a bit more. This is how it is named in the RFCs [1] and this is what we mean.If we use either gpg or pgp it will raise new questions and confuse the users.
It is better to write 4 additional characters and make it simple and precise.
We can explain all details in the description then. [1] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4880 -- Best, Jonas
