Dear GnuPG developers,

I have been trying to get GnuPG working on a read-only filesystem, and I 
think I have hit the same problem as Patrick Higgins 
(http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2000-July/005221.html), that 
the trust database is opened read-write. His suggestion of a --read-only 
option seems like a good one. If I wrote a patch to add this option, would 
anyone care to integrate it with GnuPG?

I have also been maintaining my batch-sign patch, and just updated it to 
GPG 1.0.7. This fixes what I believe to be a bug in GnuPG, that for no 
apparent reason, signing keys is disabled in batch-mode. The patch is very 
simple, and I hope you will consider applying it.

Cheers, Chris.
