To use this branch:
chekcout the last version of openpgp SDK:
# svn co svn://openpgp.nominet.org.uk/openpgpsdk/tags/openpgpsdk-0.9 openpgpsdk
# cd openpgpsdk
# ./configure --without-idea
# make
For the moment, the compilation is not workign on ubuntu
Work to do
==========
Put a 'x' when done. 1,2,3 means started/ongoing/almost finished.
Compilation
00 [1] make sure the library compiles on linux
01 [ ] make sure the library compiles on windows
Project
02 [1] determine what's missing in OpenPGP-SDK
03 [3] make a separate layer in RS to handle PGP. AuthPGP is too close to libretroshare.
04 [1] write the new AuthGPG class
05 [ ] consider removing thread behaviour of AuthGPG
06 [ ] remove callback system and services from AuthGPG, since it's not useful anymore
07 [ ] make all RS use GPGIdType isntead of std::string.
Notes
=====
Questions to answer:
- do we rely on updates from openPGP-sdk ? Probably not. This code seems frozen.
- do we need an abstract layer for PGP handling in RS ?
- what new functionalities do we need in RS ?
* pgp keyring sharing/import/export
* identity import/export
Code struture
- replace current AuthGPG (virtual class) by a class named GPGHandler,
that is responsible for signing, checking signatures, encrypting etc.
- add a specific 8-bytes type for GPG Ids. Could be a uint64_t, or a
uchar[8]
