gpg-agent socket

[fiaxh]

Currently, the gpg-agent can't be properly used out of the sandbox. An --socket=gpg-agent option would be helpful.

@BrainBlasted any plans to bring your changes towards upstream?

[BrainBlasted]

@SISheogorath eventually. IIRC I didn't finish the work to get things working there, and time hasn't been very permitting.

I took a look at the commit and it seems to be a matter of removing a prefix from grep output. If the socket bind is all that is required, getting things done should be quite in reach :-)

This is needed for dino/dino#343, i.e. a release of the Dino XMPP client as a flatpak, because the Dino devs insist on having the feature of PGP-encrypting your chats.

@rugk as a quick solution you might want to have a peek into evolution's build instructions. They get GnuPG support by mounting the keyring directory. (Of course not perfect, but at least workable and not less secure than running it outside of Flatpak on an average distro.)

Hi, I'm the person who wrote the Flatpak manifest for Dino. 👋

@rugk as a quick solution you might want to have a peek into evolution's build instructions. They get GnuPG support by mounting the keyring directory. (Of course not perfect, but at least workable and not less secure than running it outside of Flatpak on an average distro.)

We know, that's all explained behind the link provided by @rugk, including the decision not to do that.

@rugk dino/dino#343 had already been linked to this issue previously by the OP, who in fact is the Dino maintainer. We know Dino needs this. 😉

(please do not respond here if you want to add something to the topic of Dino; this ticket is about the gpg-agent socket for Flatpak, let's not pollute it with side conversations)
