Okay, so please correct me if I'm wrong about the state of #OpenPGP right now.
So first there's the former #RFC4880bis which is now pursued as "#LibrePGP", used by #GnuPG (and #rnp?), with a "v5" key format, that everyone else seem to looks "politely" at.
Then there's #RFC9580 with a "v6" key format, used by #OpenPGPjs, #SequoiaPGP (and more) but explicitly rejected by GnuPG. However, it seems to be pushed forward under the assumption that GnuPG will yield to pressure.
So we effectively have two incompatible standards, with a "common denominator" of ancient #RFC4880, some tools pursuing one of them with disregard for the other, and a few supporting both for the sake of the users. And #Gentoo is effectively stuck with whatever GnuPG supports, because we need working crypto on all supported platforms, not just the "Rust subset".

🤚 Free Saturday
👉 Saturday spent working on Free Software
Highlights from #Gentoo:
#Gemato is now compatible with #FreePG and mostly compatible with #SequoiaPGP chameleon.
• Prepared patches to support FreePG and SequoiaPGP chameleon as "gpg" symlink providers.
#FlexiBLAS is now enabled by default on ~arch.
• Finally finished working on #PkgCheck check for missing #PyPI provenance checks.
• gpy-list-pkg-impls now includes "does this package have tests?" state, can optionally include PythonCompatUpdate results from PkgCheck and output mIRC colors. In other words, our IRC bot will now tell us when dependencies let us port new packages to #Python 3.14, and whether these packages have tests.
