Merged jvoisin requested to merge jvoisin/aports:no_gpg_profanity into master Dec 22, 2021
  • Overview 7
  • Commits 1
  • Pipelines 4
  • Changes 1

The goal of this removal is to:

  • Discourage people from using gpg (no forward secrecy, no deniability, …) for chat, and nudging them towards better solutions like OTR, or even better OMEMO
  • Get rid of the gpg, gpg-agent, gpgsm, gpgme, gnupg-gpgconf, libgpg-error, libassuan, … dependencies
  • Be closer to Alpine's minimalism mantra

GPG support in XMPP is spotty at best: xep-0373 is experimental, xep-0374 is deferred, xep-0027 is obsolete: implementation into production client is therein not recommended.
