I have my GnuPG keyrings and config under version control as well. However, I think that the key material does not really lend itself to text-based inspection with something like 'diff', in contrast to config files. For recovery, I have sometimes accessed historic keyrings, but only as a whole. and then exported a certain key, to be re-imported into my newer keyring. I don't see myself accessing some part of a keyring without using the GnuPG binary, so I wonder what tanglibe benefit a text-based storage format would bring to the table? -Ralph _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org https://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
