One very interesting tidbit - regardless that this is simply some PR stunt at exactly the right time - according to a renowned german news magazine Die Zeit, two of the founders of Narus, which helped develop the PRISM technology, are now working for the Deutsche Telekom. Go figure!
SHA Hash and signature will be added tomorrow. In all the excitement we forgot about that.
Please file the bug report for GPGPreferences on https://support.gpgtools.org
Thanks!
It's "self-contained" in /usr/local/MacGPG2.
Only creates symlinks into /usr/local/bin but will avoid that if it recognizes another gpg already being linked there.
Also, linking warnings when using homebrew's GPG are resolved.
I see. This isn't clean enough for my tastes. I run Homebrew from a custom directory, not /usr/local, and I want to make GPGMail refer to the gpg binary there. No Mac app installer should ever write anything to /usr/local.
PS: If you are a maintainer, thank you for all the hard work. I'm only criticizing the current installation system because I really want to use GPGMail, and it does not fit into the way I like to set up my machine.
They just shipped support for Mountain Lion, which was released one year ago. I hope there is not as big a delay for Mavericks. I understand that it's a volunteer project, but a kickstarter could surely help them muster the $100 for a Mac developer subscription and access to the developer previews of 10.9.
10.9 is being actively tested internally and we've already released two hacked together preview versions for it. Doing everything we can to be on time this time for real.
You're underestimating the level of effort here. It's not about lacking the $100 (they've received more than that in donations), it's that Apple makes significant changes to the way their applications are built and run and they don't communicate the changes very well, if at all.
In addition, as the apps are linked and compiled with different settings (clang, no ppc, no 32-bit, etc.) then plugins that are dependent on these APIs have to find their own way.
ML was a huge change from Lion in many ways. Mavericks has some issues that an individual can resolve on their own (mostly) but it's a moving target as it is not released yet.
But I do encourage you to donate. Integration with your native mail app should be worth $50-100+.
GPGMail uses a very well known and white spread technology OpenPGP as its base.
Everyone you want to use it with has to have a mail client which supports OpenPGP in one form or another, but there are many plugins out there, who add support for your favorite mail clients on windows and linux.
