Comment (by lbschenkel):
@dbevans: it seems that the current gpg situation became a little bit
messy:
- gpg installs on bin/gpg
- gpg2 installs on bin/gpg2
- gpg21 installs on bin/gpg and conflicts with gpg1 and gpg2
I think that it's probably worth it to open a discussion on the mailing
list about how to handle the various GnuPG versions moving forward --
including 2.2 that was just released.
Regarding GPGME, for now I suggest that we introduce a `gnupg20` variant
which is activated by default and has the current dependency, so no change
for existing users. Users using 2.1.x need to select the `gnupg21` variant
instead that will have a hard dependency on `gnupg21` (we cannot rely on
`path:bin/gpg` anymore since it could be satisfied by GnuPG 1.x), giving
them an immediate solution. Then we can decide later when it is
appropriate to switch defaults. How does that sound?
