From ac05cada2e1d8a9f29c7728795940d84183a3914 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: agc Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2010 16:20:05 +0000 Subject: Update netpgp to version 1.99.20/20100304 - portability improvements, and bug fixes: Changes to 1.99.20/20100304 + move args to some functions around to be consistent + use uint*_t where appropriate + fix bug in verify memory + add documentation to manual pages to show how to do combined signing/encryption and decryption/verification + make verification of ascii-armoured memory work the same as binary + eliminate use of strdup(3), strcasecmp(3), and strptime(3). NetBSD/pkgsrc PR 42922 applies - need to define _XOPEN_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE for newer linux platforms with glibc 2.10.1. solved a bit differently, by implementing strdup(3) and strcasecmp(3) independently, and using regexps to avoid calling strptime(3). --- security/netpgp/DESCR | 17 ++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'security/netpgp/DESCR') diff --git a/security/netpgp/DESCR b/security/netpgp/DESCR index 3ae92c2ad4b..ae00ab349d5 100644 --- a/security/netpgp/DESCR +++ b/security/netpgp/DESCR @@ -1,11 +1,14 @@ -The netpgp command can digitally sign files and verify that the -signatures attached to files were signed by a given user identifier. -netpgp can also encrypt files using the public or private keys of -users and, in the same manner, decrypt files which were encrypted. +The netpgp library is a BSD-licensed library for managing PGP keys. -The netpgp utility can also be used to generate a new key-pair for a -user.
