Description Jakub Jelen 2023-03-03 11:40:09 UTC
Description of problem:
The GnuPG 2.4.0 changed the gnupg defaults to use RFC4880bis, which is potentially breaking interoperability with other OpenPGP implementations using RFC4880 (or with the WG draft that is being developed).

The change is minimal now, but might grow larger over time. The proposal is to revert this change for now so we can postpone the decision what direction to take in the future, while keeping Fedora 38 and rawhide interoperable.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2023-03-03 11:44:12 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 38-beta by Fedora user jjelen using the blocker tracking app because:

 The current version of GnuPG 2.4.0 introduces potentially incompatible changes with other OpenPGP implementations. There is a PR with the reverted change that should take this back into more compatible state, which would be preferred for a stable Fedora release before we will figure out better options.
