Hi,

Over the last few days I've been committing some changes to CVS. In case
someone was checking them as I committed, I apologize for the problems that
there were a couple of days ago. For some reason some files weren't
committed with the others. I'll never again trust emacs' word on which files
were modified :-)

As it is now, most of the keyring editor works. I've fixed key import (it
wasn't really broken), added key generation (in both advanced and wizard
mode) and implemented most of the key edit dialog (changing the ownertrust
does not work yet, but it's almost ready).

I have some doubts about changing the expiry date. When gpg creates a
DSA/ElGamal key, it sets the same expiration date on both the primary key
and the subkey. However, each "expire" command when editing keys only
affects one subkey. So, should GPA edit each subkey and set them all to the
same expiration date? Only those that have the same expiration date as the
primary key? Or just the primary key? Suggestions?

Regards,
