Re: Missing jessie/main s390x Packages



Can you explain why you require 2.0 (ie. which features) and why 2.1/2.2 will not do for you?

Please note that v2.0 is EOLed by upstream at https://gnupg.org/download/index.html

One really should not be using EOLed software....

I have heard of valid reasons to stick with 1.4, but not yet for using 2.0 when 2.1/2.2 is available.

The problem is we require 2.0,  and stretch is using 2.1.   1.4 is not needed.  
Is there a way to install 2.0 on stretch?

Why be scared of gpg? both are provided in all the recent Ubuntu and
Debian releases, as gnupg & gnupg1 packages.

Installing gnupg1 package and using /usr/bin/gpg1 shouldn't be too
much of a stretch 😉 ? or like symlinking ~/bin/gpg to /usr/bin/gpg1
for the affected user only.
