[kde-freebsd] libassuan

[Doug Barton]

Howdy,

I'm writing this message to inquire about updating ports that depend on
libassuan. It's currently at version 1.0.5, and the latest gnupg
(2.0.15) requires libassuan 2.0.0. There is an open PR that discusses
this issue, where Jason mentions that updating libassuan would be
problematic for the KDE stuff:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/144186

The ports that currently depend on libassuan (other than gnupg) are the
following:
Port:	kdepim-4.4.3
Port:	dirmngr-1.0.3
Port:	gpa-0.9.0_3

I'm writing to you because you are the maintainer of one of those ports.

So that's the background, now the question. Are any of those 3 ports any
closer to having the ability to use libassuan 2.x? The lack of backwards
compatibility in gnupg 2.0.15 is annoying, but it's a fact of life, so
we need to find a solution that's going to allow us to update the
relevant bits.


Thanks,

Doug
