I don't know. However they use a set of patches (e.g. allowing 8k keys)
and thus the Mac version diverts from the gnupg.org version. Actually
Gpg4win does the same but I take care that those patches get back to
upstream. In fact all but one patch are regular commits done after a
release to fix Windows problems. The remaining patch extends the GnuPG
version with the Gpg4win version.
I would appreciate if the Mac folks would decide to use gnupg-devel for
development. It would also be desirable if the new speedo build system
from 2.1 could also be used for Mac OS.
So, which "mac guys" are you referring to? I recently got a Macbook for
work and have been busy trying to recreate my environment/tools. I found
the "GPG Suite" from this web site: https://gpgtools.org/index.html
which seemed legit enough ... are those the developers you're referring
to? Is there any concern over using their stuff?
I got to their site from the link on
https://www.gnupg.org/download/index.html so I had assumed it was Ok. :-/
