-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there!
I'm using GPG 2.0.15. I want to export public keys from a perl script, i.e. using "--batch" if possible. Some of the keys contain multiple subkeys, and some of the subkeys have expired. There are at least two good reasons to strip expired subkeys: - - avoid transfer of unneccessary data - - the PGP Global Directory will refuse keys with expired subkeys I found no easy way to strip expired subkeys from the export output: - - "--export-options export-clean" cleans unusable sigs, but not subkeys - - Even using temporary keyrings won't work, as "--edit-key" to delete a subkey won't work in "--batch" mode, and there seems to be no command-line alternative to this. So the only thing I can imagine would be dropping the "--batch" requirement and hoping that gpg won't ask any interactive questions. And still using a temporary keyring which causes a number of additional commands to set things up and clean up afterwards. Is there an alternative? Some kind of undocumented feature? Any hint? If there isn't, do you agree that there should be, i.e. that this should become a feature request?
