This is not a bug report. Short history - I have tried to package gnupg several times, the gunpg v1.* has never been difficult - and maybe I shall just leave it at that.
My key question is about the difference between v1.X and v2.X - are there security elements in v2 that are missing/weaker in v1 - or are the differences mainly that v2 supports/is always GUI while v1 is always CLI. Background info... The first wall I run into with gnupg-2.0.26 is that it wants gnu threads - so, the question is: is there something inherently wrong with POSIX threads, or even specifically with AIX pthreads that configure does not attempt to use them (by default). I took the hint and tried to package gnu/nth but make fails - immediately - with this message. root@x064:[/data/prj/gnu/pth/pth-2.0.7]make ./libtool --mode=compile --quiet cc -c -I. pth_debug.c "pth.h", line 93.2: 1506-205 (S) #error "FD_SETSIZE is larger than what GNU Pth can handle." make: *** [pth_debug.lo] Error 1 root@x064:[/data/prj/gnu/pth/pth-2.0.7] For extra info: root@x064:[/data/prj/gnu/pth/pth-2.0.7]grep FD_SETSIZE *.h pth.h: /* check if the user requests a bigger FD_SETSIZE than we can handle */ pth.h:#if defined(FD_SETSIZE) pth.h:#if FD_SETSIZE > 1024 pth.h:#error "FD_SETSIZE is larger than what GNU Pth can handle." pth_p.h:#if !defined(FD_SETSIZE) pth_p.h:#define FD_SETSIZE 1024 # AIX 5.3 so anno 2009 root@x064:[/data/prj/gnu/pth/pth-2.0.7]grep FD_SETSIZE /usr/include/*.h /usr/include/sys/*.h /usr/include/sys/time.h: * FD_SETSIZE may be defined by the user to the maximum valued file /usr/include/sys/time.h:#ifndef FD_SETSIZE /usr/include/sys/time.h:#define FD_SETSIZE 65534 /usr/include/sys/time.h:/* Number of entries needed for FD_SETSIZE open files */ /usr/include/sys/time.h:#define __NUM_ENTRIES (FD_SETSIZE/__NFDBITS+1) Again, this is NOT a bug-report. I have never seen gnupg 2.0 (so maybe it is all GUI related, when all I am really interested in is security abilities). Thank your for your time. Michael p.s. please forgive the cross post to @devel - not sure which is the best list for this question.
