Hello Adolf,
hello development folks,

sorry for my tardy reply.

> Is IPFire using the 1.4 Branch because there is some historic requirement for the older insecure keys. 

(Assuming this was a question:) To my knowledge, we do not have key material in operation that would not
be supported by GnuPG 2.x - the "classic" branch simply is more lightweight than the 2.x branch.

The last time I looked at this, GnuPG 2.x required some flavour of the "pinentry" helper for entering
passphrases, and won't compile without. Since there is no manual interaction on a firewall, "pinentry"
is useless, but I was unable to work out how to omit it in GnuPG 2.x .

Things could have been changed, meanwhile. Perhaps this is now possible, so if you have some spare time
to look at this, go ahead. :-)

Thank you very much in advance for your efforts - and all your patches of the last weeks.

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
