Hi,

I am the Gentoo maintainer of gpgme.

The 1.7 version is a great step forward,please see some notes regarding the
build system, summary in single message, tell me if you wish individual
bugs.

Thanks,

FAILING TESTS

t-sig-notation fails due to Unexpected notation data

qt/t-encrypt opens a pinentry window, maybe due to:
    /* Loopback and passphrase provider don't work for mixed encryption.
     * So this test is disabled until gnupg(?) is fixed for this. */

QT DOC

Can you please make the qtdoc enable/disable explicitly instead of
autodetecting doxygen?
Also, these docs are not installed, shouldn't they?

PYTHON

If not absolutely required to have this in the same package, maybe it would
be better to split it into a separate one that is to be used post
installation of pgpme using pure python tools.
The autoconf ignores PYTHON override or any other attempt to use explicit
environment.
Please enable override to enable the packaging system to build the bindings
to the supported python interpreters of the system.
