[GNU ELPA] Pinentry version 0.1


From: ELPA update
Subject: [GNU ELPA] Pinentry version 0.1
Date: Sun, 31 Mar 2024 05:48:06 -0400

Version 0.1 of package Pinentry has just been released in GNU ELPA.
You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.

Pinentry describes itself as:

  ====================================
  GnuPG Pinentry server implementation
  ====================================

More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/pinentry.html

## Summary:

  This package allows GnuPG passphrase to be prompted through the
  minibuffer instead of graphical dialog.

  To use, add "allow-emacs-pinentry" to "~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf",
  reload the configuration with "gpgconf --reload gpg-agent", and
  start the server with M-x pinentry-start.

  The actual communication path between the relevant components is
  as follows:

    gpg --> gpg-agent --> pinentry --> Emacs

  where pinentry and Emacs communicate through a Unix domain socket
  created at:

    ${TMPDIR-/tmp}/emacs$(id -u)/pinentry

  under the same directory which server.el uses.  The protocol is a
  subset of the Pinentry Assuan protocol described in (info
  "(pinentry) Protocol").
