Re: [Debconf-discuss] Last call for keys for keysigning in Cape Town, South Africa



Maybe we should also have a BoF session this year, again, for GPG Best
Practices? And maybe also some discussion about gpg v1.4 vs gpg v2.x.

On Debian, we're defaulting with gpg 1.4 where as gnupg 2.x package's README.gz
says: "- 2.0 is the current stable version for general use."

Right now, I see 2 informative (external links).
https://debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/110
http://superuser.com/questions/763724/how-to-set-gpg2-as-default-implementation-
of-gpg-on-debian/852994


For now, I'll link them on the Debian Wiki ?
