Things are having a way of disappearing faster than they come now. At least they are for me. I am just asking if you will remove it from that location in the future. I guess it is okay if we have another GnuPG version and you replace it with another file. But many times people won't upgrade for what ever reason (here, language issues for Chinese prevents going to GnuPG 2.x on Windows). Let me illustrate the concern a little more clearly. Things have a way disappearing right out from underneath people, expecially if you picked Gnome 1 & 2 (and KDE has language problems for Arabic and Perso-Arabic) on Linux: http://www.securemecca.com/public/DemingLinux/ OS: OpenSuse 11.4 (the last of Gnome 2 there) Video: ASUS GeForce GTX-650 (replaced GeForce 220) Reason: Can no longer use GoogleEarth Problem: Instructions from OpenSuSE point to their special OS folder. But every time they update the kernel KMS comes back with a Vengence and my resolution drops back down to 640x480 with NO way to increase it unless you change the kernel to get rid of KMS. Ergo, I have to alter the kernel to get my video resolution back up to 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz, I run 1680x1050 for both Ubuntu and Windows 7. I also had to install the approprtiate nVidia driver myself. In fact I had to do the entire thing myself and one of the instructions provided was WRONG. I first tried to do this the OpenSuSE way. But when I pointed to the proper folder for YUM unpdates, as usual, they were GONE! I imagine it disappeared the day OpenSuSE 12.1 came out. They are up to 12.3 now. Why fix what isn't broken? But in this case they broke what was fixed. I will finally have to update to OpenSuse 12.4 IF they have KDE. Gnome 3 is nothing more than an iPhone GUI dropped onto the desktop. You don't even have an xterm which was finally provided with Unity for Ubuntu 12.04. In addition to having to remove nouveau, this is just one example that somebody thinks I have time to do 4+ OS updates per year with every Linux distro and that I use nothing but Firefox and Libre Office. That is way too much change but in this case Gnome may as well close the door. Only LibreOffice and Firefox are provided with Gnome 3 with every distro I installed or tried to install this spring, I have finally given up completely on Fedora. I haven't been able to install Fedora for years because it doesn't have my current ASUS monitor or the previous ViewSonic monitor in its X-Windows DB. But with Gnome 3 you can't even use GnuPG any more. Where is Thundebird and the xterm to use it in? I couldn't find them. Like my friend who wrestled with Windows 8 for two days I finally gave up and went back to the very same OS I had, but swapped the machines they were on. Here comes another Ubuntu 10.04 update of the kernel and I may have to reinstall the Nvidia drivers there again (you must do it with OpenSuSE but I am counting on NO OS upgrades for the 11.4 version any more). On that machine I went from on motherboard Nvidia to a GEForce GT-640, again because GoogleEarth would no longer run. At least I can still use GnuPG because I can have an xterm which most of these modern GUIs with every Linux distro no longer provide. I can also run Thunderbird. Windows 8 also has the iPhone GUI mentality as well and even worse, forces you to use their email type setup which has extremely bad security problems. By that I mean your private becomes public and they expect ALL of your banking and financial stuff to go through them. I guess Microsoft fired all of their top-notch security people. I still consider Drop My Rights for XP in many ways better than the UAC for Windows 7. So stick to Windows 7 or Windows XP if you want to use GnuPG encryption on Microsoft Windows. You cannot use GnuPG or hardly anything else other than Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office on Windows 8. My friend couldn't find a way to do it. The reason everybody is getting this is because it DOES have repercussions on GnuPG. You won't be able to use GnuPG encryption any more until all these people provide a desktop or laptop OS where you can use GnuPG again! I don't want an OS where I cannot use GnuPG!
