[Announce] cryptplug 0.3.14 released

[Werner Koch]

Hi!

we have just released the first standalone version of cryptplug.
cryptplug is required for GnuPG and S/MIME support under KDE 3.1.

The core of cryptplug just to be a part of gpgme; for the sake of
better maintainibility we decided to create an extra package.  Kudos
to Marcus for creating this packaging framework.

The README tells us:

This is a collection of plug-ins to cryptographic engines, accessible
by the crypt-plug interface.  Applications can make use of the crypto
operations provided by the CryptPlug interface, and the plug-ins
provided by this package implement the interface for various
cryptographic engines, like GnuPG.

There are plug-ins for different crypto engines available.  It is
automatically detected which plug-ins can be built, but it can also be
requested explicitely.

PLUG-IN		OPTION				DEPENDENCIES
gpgmeplug	--enable-cryptplug-gpgme	GPGME 0.3.12 or later

Examples:
* To build the GPGME CryptPlug, and the plug-ins if they are
  supported:
./configure --enable-cryptplug-gpgme

* To build everything that is supported (complete auto-detection):
./configure

The plug-ins are installed by "make install" in "pkglibdir", normally
"PREFIX/lib/cryptplug".


GpgmePlug
---------

For support of the GPGME library, you need the latest CVS version of
GPGME 0.3, module named "gpgme", at
":pserver:anoncvs@cvs.gnupg.org:/cvs/gnupg".

You need at least GPGME 0.3.12.

If configure can't find the "gpgme" library in your path, you can
specify the location with the --with-gpgme-prefix=/path/to/gpgme/install-root
argument to configure.  You might also need to set up the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to point to that version of the GPGME
library.




Salam-Shalom,
