Hi Fabian,

gpgsm v2.3 changed some details about its output:

Thanks for sending this. I noticed these as well, as Fedora
started shipping gnupg-2.3 a few months back. I have been
trying (and failing) to make time to submit (when I know I
won't be too distracted to actually converse about them).
The commits I made for the tests in Fedora are all here:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/git/c/a7d2f7e53
I don't intend that as something anyone here should feel the
need to chase down. But since they provide some additional
context on the changes I made in the same area, it might
help if anyone's curious.

As Junio noted, this loosens the GPG parsing a good bit. I
worried it could lead to security issues as well. The
simple fix I made in Fedora was to add a newline to the
gpg_status string buffer before adding the command output to
it:

But that seemed like a bit of a hack. What I had queued up
to submit for discussion (as I'm not sure that it isn't
entirely horrible) used the string-list API to parse the gpg
output:

That's the commit I was most in doubt about though, as my C
"skills" are close to non-existant. I'd rather have
something ugly and clear (like the `strbuf_addch(...)`
above) than clever and wrong in gpg-interface.c.
(To be clear, I mean "clever and wrong" in regard to my use
of the string list API, not anyone else's code.)
string_list_split seems a bit like overkill. My first thought was actually
sth like:
cp = strstr(gpg_status.buf, "[GNUPG]: SIG_CREATED");
if (cp == gpg_status.buf || --cp == '\n')
// found
But that would fail in case the string came up before the actual success
message at the beginning of a line. So Junios variant of using the for()
loop is more robust and would normally find the correct string on its first
iteration anyway.

I think this whole thing can (and should) be simplified by
using gpg's --with-colons output which is intended to be
machine parsable.
I looked for sth like this but gpgs --help does not list it so i didn't dig
deeper. I've checked the blame and it seems like this was introduced >19
years ago. So i guess we can probably use this ^^
If we'd been using that previously, we wouldn't need to make
any further changes here.
I think we're making our lives difficult by screen scraping
here wher we don't need to do so.
The change I made for the Fedora package to fix this does

This does not quite work for me. It will add the fingerprint without the
colons into the trustlist which is not valid :/
It would need sth like:

printf \"%s S relax\\n\", substr(\$10, 1, length(\$10)-1)}" \

this with/without awk.

I was hoping to submit that small series in the next day or
two, while I've got a few days away from $work. If doing it
that way is appealing, I can submit them. But only if that
looks like a reasonable improvement to you and others.

Can we make this simpler by adjusting the grep pattern?
It's certainly a slight trade-off in ease of reading, but it
saves a subshell and an extra command:
- grep "^| | gpgsm: certificate not found" actual
+ grep -Ei "^| | gpgsm:( failed to find the)? certificate:? not found" actual
Thanks, will do.
I did that in a separate patch:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/git/blob/a7d2f7e53/f/0004-t4202-match-gpgsm-output-from-GnuPG-2.3.patch
IMO, this is a bug in gnupg-2.3. I submitted a patch to
resolve it back in November, but have not gotten any
response as yet. :(
https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2021-November/034991.html
Not that it will preclude us from having to fix this for the
test suite, but it's worth noting why the change is needed
(and when it will no longer be relevant -- if/when we don't
care to support the few early gnupg-2.3.x releases).
Thanks,
