OpenPGP-Secure

For now, we are not able to appreciate PGP at its full potential.

Need OPENPGPKEY RR support (see related RFC and the Bortzmeyer analysis):

• The systemd package supports resolving of OPENPGPKEY RR since systemd 230 released on 2016-05-22
  Verify your OPENPGPKEY RR: systemd-resolve --openpgp [email protected]

• The python2-gnupg dependency of hash-slinger has been fixed on 2016-06-06 master branch and the 0.3.9 version with the patch has been released on 2016-09-10.
  Generate your OPENPGPKEY RR: openpgpkey --output rfc [email protected]

• The python2-unbound dependency of hash-slinger is really heavy because it depends also of the unbound recursive DNS server package which, on Arch Linux, contains also the libunbound2/unbound-libs library. On the contrary, on Ubuntu or on Fedora, the main unbound package and libunbound2/unbound-libs library are splitted. An unbound-libs AUR package should be created to remplace the unbound dependency of python2-unbound. Nevertheless, it is not the Arch Linux philosophy :

Packages are only split when compelling advantages exist.

• For now, it's better to generate your OPENPGPKEY RR with gpg.
