Good. Then the only dependency on gpgme 0.3.x is Sylpheed-claws (well, and Sylpheed in Fedora Core for people like me who rebuild it with GPGME privately). Has anyone any objections against rebuilding GPGME 0.3.x without support for GPGSM? That would enable us to get rid of the dependency on newpg (via /usr/bin/gpgsm). It would also make libksba 0.4.x obsolete, and upgradable to libksba 0.9.x as needed by GNUPG 2. The build dependency on gpgsm could be dropped anyway, and the install-time dependency would no longer be needed. Does any package exist which would use GPGME 0.3.x + GPGSM and is not included in Extras? Left would be GPGME 0.4.x as used by elmo and gpa. Neither one uses GPGSM either, so GPGME 0.4.x could also be rebuilt without gpgsm dependency. Then, both gpa and elmo build against GPGME 1.0.x, so no urgent need to keep GPGME 0.4.x, not even as gpgme04 package. Still to check: gpa and elmo build with GPGME 1.0.x, but do they work correctly?
