Description:
 This installs a service menu for Konqueror that
decrypts and
extracts the contents of encrypted tarballs.

Once install, a "Decrypt and Extract Here" entry
is added to the
"Actions" context menu in Konqueror. This entry
will only appear for
the file extensions defined in the
pgp-tarball-*.desktop files. The following
extensions are defined:

*.tar.bz2.asc
*.tar.bz2.gpg
*.tar.bz2.pgp
*.tar.gz.asc
*.tar.gz.gpg
*.tar.gz.pgp
*.tgz.asc
*.tgz.gpg
*.tgz.pgp

Currently only gzip and bzip2 compressed tar
archives are supported. If there
is a demand, other compression types (e.g. zip,
etc.) can be easily added. Simply email the author
and make the request.

Additionally, this RPM will modify the
kgpg.desktop file by adding
"application/pgp-tarball-bz2" and
"application/pgp-tarball-gz" to the MimeType
field. This allows encrypted tar archives to be
opened by KGpg (just like any other encrypted file
would be).

Thank you and enjoy!

Changelog:
 * Wed May 10 2006 Alvin Beach
- Version 1.1-2
- Added --use-agent to gpg command. If gpg and/or
gpg-agent are not
configured properly, the user will not be prompted
for the passphrase.
The --use-agent switch seems to be a good
workaround.
See the TROUBLESHOOTING section in
/usr/share/doc/decrypttarball/INSTALL
for information on configuring gpg-agent.
- Added pinentry to the RPMs dependency list.
pinentry provides the
interface for entering the passphrase.

* Mon May 08 2006 Alvin Beach 
- Version 1.1-1
- Added support for bzip2 compressed tarballs

* Sun May 07 2006 Alvin Beach 
- Version 1.0-2
- Added KGpg association. This allows the
encrypted tarballs to be opened
with KGpg. Without this, the "Open with" dialog
box would appear.

* Sat May 06 2006 Alvin Beach 
- Version 1.0-1
- First version.
