1 dirmngr (2.1.13-3) experimental; urgency=medium
3 gpg and most related processes will auto-launch dirmngr if needed.
5 Any user who wants to launch dirmngr manually should do so with:
7 gpgconf --launch dirmngr
9 and may want to terminate dirmngr when their session ends with:
11 gpgconf --kill dirmngr
13 Users on machines with systemd can ensure that dirmngr is always
14 running for their session (and that it gets terminated at logout)
17 gpgconf --kill dirmngr
18 systemctl --user enable dirmngr
19 systemctl --user start dirmngr

23 dirmngr (2.1.0~beta895-1) experimental; urgency=medium
25 No more dirmngr system service!
26 ===============================
28 As of the 2.1.0 beta series, dirmngr is a local daemon that works
29 closely with gnupg2. It is launched on its own, per-user, and
30 listens on a standard socket (usually ~/.gnupg/S.dirmngr). There is
31 no more system-wide dirmngr process.
33 If there is a special case where a dirmngr system process is
34 actually needed, please report a bug in dirmngr, and we can sort out
35 a way to set one up for that case so that everyone with dirmngr
36 installed doesn't need to have it running.
