Issue created Jun 10, 2015 by intrigeri@intrigeriMaintainer

Include a pinentry GUI that's well integrated within GNOME

Originally created by @intrigeri on #9555 (Redmine)

For various reasons (#5931 (closed), #5419 (closed)) we’ve moved from GNOME’s own implementation of a GnuPG agent to the regular gnupg-agent + pinentry-gtk2. Sadly, the latter is badly integrated in GNOME. The good news is that GNOME will drop its own implementation of the agent, and instead a nicer pinentry GUI is being developed:

  • https://gnupg.org/blog/20150607-gnupg-in-may.html
  • https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2015-May/029835.html

It’s called pinentry-gnome3 and is already available in Debian sid. For Tails/Jessie, we should consider replacing pinentry-gtk2 with that one :)
