Looks like none of this depends on the keyring being stored in a binary or textual format, does it? Even knowing only the date of having passed on a backup would be enough to figure out the commits made after handing over the backup. Then there are commit comments, tags, branchs... Maybe think of the process of creating and handing over a backup like a software release? In any case, as far as I am concerned, the increased performance of using a binary keyring in daily GnuPG use far outweighs any perceived convenience of a text-based format, especially when that text-based format can be easily generated using the "gpg" binary. Note that I am saying that as a true fan of text-based formats myself. -Ralph _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org https://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
