The only obstacle now to running this box as the mail server is that I do read and send mail on it occasionally, while working on something. I need gpg-agent, but can't find how to get it. Is it merged into another package, or do I simply have to look at other repositories?

[tlviewer@support gnupg2]$ rpm2cpio gnupg2-2.0.4-1.fc6.src.rpm | cpio -t gnupg-1.9.16-testverbose.patch gnupg-2.0.4.tar.bz2 gnupg-2.0.4.tar.bz2.sig gnupg2.spec gpg-agent-shutdown.sh gpg-agent-startup.sh 7010 blocks
the gnupg2 package is fedora only at this time! I'll take a quick look at building it and post what I find.

Setup the repo below in YUM
#cd /etc/yum.repos.d #wget http://centos.karan.org/kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo #yum install GnuPG2 --enablerepo=kbs-CentOS-Testing

Hi, Mark. I only found this today, as some messages got mis-filed during the copying over to the new server.
I've installed it, but I have big problems with gpg on this box. Whenever there is a signature to be checked I get runaway cpu usage and gpg has to be killed.
At various times I have used different methods for stopping/starting gpg-agent. I used to use /env and /shutdown scripts under .kde. Then later I used the statement "eval `gpg-agent --daemon`" in .bash_profile. I've tried both methods in CentOS, but both give me these runaway problems. After a few of them kmail crashes and the trustdb gets corrupted. Maybe I should try to remove everything connected with gpg and reinstall?
As to starting and stopping gpg-agent, please advise the best method to use.

Here's what we use in fedora (and kde-redhat packaging):
Grab gpg-agent-* scripts from: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/devel/kde-settings/
Put into either (global): /etc/kde/env , /etc/kde/shutdown or (personal): ~/.kde/env , ~/.kde/shutdown

Thanks, Rex. With any luck I'll be working again. :-)

BTW - I found a stale lockfile that could have been the cause of the crashes. Things are looking up at last :-)

It's in gnupg2 available from EPEL (among other places)
