Hi, The perl-GnuPG package is no more available under Mageia8. Is it possible to add it again (it was available in Mageia7) ? It is possible that the perl-crypt package does more or less the same, but it is not 100% compatible with perl-GnuPG commands. Step to reproduce : In a Perl script, add the line : use GnuPG qw( :algo ) ; Workaround : install perl-GnuPG-0.190.0-8.mga7.noarch.rpm Regards. Xuo.
Hi, thanks reporting this. Assigning. @tv, can we eventually backport it to Mageia 8? Unsure why it was dropped. On a voluntary basis, one of the packagers might, if there are no license or other legal issues, want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

Hi, Any news on that topic ? I've installed the package perl-GnuPG-0.190.0-8.mga7.noarch.rpm but it seems to be removed by task-obsolete-xxx.mga8.noarch. So each time I need to use the perl-GnuPG package, I need to remove first the task-obsolete one and re-install the perl-GnuPG-0.190.0-8.mga7.noarch.rpm one. Regards. Xuo.

Hi, Any news on that topic ? Could you add perl-GnuPG back into Mageia8 ? Or tell me how to use gpg in a Perl script without this package ? Regards. Xuo.
This package was obsoleted with MGA7. Pterjan reported on the Dev mailing list that there were build failures. Additional this package is dead upstream and completely unmaintained since 2012. All linux distributions (except Altlinux and PCLinuxOS) dropped this dead package. Closing as WONTFIX.

Hi, Ok. I've understood. So, my next question is : what is the package that will allow the possibility to Perl to call gnuPG commands ? Is there a replacement package ? Should I "cpan" some specific Perl modules each time a new Mageia version is provided ? Thanks. Xuo.
