Invalid return from gpgme_op_keylist_next() + more

[Nico Schottelius]

Good morning!

Thanks for the fast and helpful answer!
As soon as my eyes are wide enought to read my own code i'll
apply the corrections you directed me to and rereport.

Imho having a context all the time would make learning gpgme easier.
But maybe a personal taste, too.

I should have guessed that answer ;-)

Aye, will do. Expect it before the end of 2008.

Strange, there must have been something wrong with the import from svn into
git:

[0:57] denkbrett:gpgme% git-branch -a
* master
  git-svn
[8:06] denkbrett:gpgme% ls README*
zsh: no matches found: README*
[8:06] denkbrett:gpgme% grep svn:// .git/config 
   url = svn://cvs.gnupg.org/gpgme/trunk/gpgme
[8:11] denkbrett:gpgme% git-log | grep git-svn-id | head -n1
    git-svn-id: svn://cvs.gnupg.org/gpgme/trunk/gpgme@1318 aac49db4-c9ff-0310-8ba0-e8b1974e1722


Argh, while writing this mail I see it: I cloned from the wrong location!
svn://cvs.gnupg.org/gpgme/trunk/gpgme is totally wrong, should have been
svn://cvs.gnupg.org/gpgme!

Well known FOSS problem. Would like to help you, but there are too much things
ongoing in my life already.


Sincerly, a totally tired,

Nico
