Why do I get so many responses like this on this list? I've spent a ton of time solving our own problems with the Android port, we also made sure to take out a support contract with Werner to pay him to answer our questions. I only wish we'd had more so we could pay him for all the work he has done, but we have long since run out of money for working on GnuPG. I continue this on my own time because I believe it is important.
The point of this discussion is to talk about an shared architecture for using GnuPG outside of C/C++ on UNIX. That's why Bjarni started it, and that's why I've joined in here. It seems that half of this thread has been griping about the discussion process. We need a little more faith in each other so we can have productive discussions and further our shared goals. .hc Bob (Robert) Cavanaugh: > Native to what?
