no GPG skel files.

I cannot find any gpg skel files on my machine, the wiki still mentions /usr/share/gnupg but there is no gpg.conf (or similar) or dirmngr.conf. all I want to do is change some user speciic setting about key timeout and unlocking, can I write my own simple conf files with only that in them?

thanks, is there an example dirmngr.conf or not?

You can just read the man page.

Re: no GPG skel files.

Interesting - I have the same issue here.  NuSkool's greps seem to be pointing to gpgconf's conf, not gpg's conf.  And if we have to do greps to find the conf, seems like it is departing from what the wiki says.

Any other ideas regarding where to find a conf file?  Tried to makepkg -do on the git version without much luck looking at the source files.

Re: no GPG skel files.

What? The file is where it should be: read pacman's output; it is the authoritative source.

Re: no GPG skel files.

Google was my source and it may be in the man pages as well. I think this may be what you're looking for.  I didn't know the answer to your questions, but am curious and persistent enough (sometimes even smart enough to already know) to usually figure stuff out. I don't mind helping if I can, but kindly be warned, unfortunately you may not always get this kind of friendly response here. Everyone is expected to be somewhat self sufficient. Hope this helps.

Probably also be nice to have the wiki be more straight forward also but that's a whole nother topic.

https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals … ation.html

3.3 Configuration

Dirmngr makes use of several directories when running in daemon mode: There are a few configuration files whih control the operation of dirmngr. By default they may all be found in the current home directory (see option --homedir).

https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals … 02dhomedir

--homedir dir

    Set the name of the home directory to dir. If this option is not used, the home directory defaults to ~/.gnupg.

ls ~/.gnupg

---- deleted           

dirmngr-conf.skel   
gpg-conf.skel   
 
---- deleted

EDIT:
Also see man applygnupgdefaults

EDIT:
After reading the wiki talk page, specifically, my own comment that I forgot about, I'm now unsure where these skel files came from. I may have downloaded them. See my comment for additional info.

Re: no GPG skel files.

Looking into this further, skel files were deleted upstream and are no longer packaged at the source.  Some discussion of this is here.

You can go to an earlier branch and pull an options.skel file, such as here: https://github.com/gpg/gnupg/blob/gnupg … tions.skel.

Hope this helps.
