PIN entry for Debian
--------------------
This package and its sibling packages are intended to be used as a
pass-phrase entry dialog for the program gpg-agent (Debian package
gnupg-agent). To configure gpg-agent to use one of the provided
pinentry programs, put something like this into your
~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-FLAVOR
You have the following pinentry variants to choose from:
/usr/bin/pinentry
Generic name that points, via the Debian alternatives system, to
the "best" installed PIN entry program. gpg-agent uses this by
default.
/usr/bin/pinentry-gnome
Graphical PIN entry program that uses GNOME's gcr prompter. This
package will work on systems that use Wayland as well as X11, and
it is the preferred pinentry for desktop systems (package
pinentry-gnome).
/usr/bin/pinentry-x11
Generic name that points, via the Debian alternatives system, to
the "best" installed PIN entry program with X11 support (that is,
one of the GNOME, Qt, GTK+2, or FLTK flavors).
/usr/bin/pinentry-qt
Graphical PIN entry program that uses the Qt tool kit
(package pinentry-qt).
/usr/bin/pinentry-curses
Text-mode PIN entry program that uses the curses tool kit (package
pinentry-curses).
/usr/bin/pinentry-tty
Minimal Text-mode dumb-terminal PIN entry program (package
pinentry-tty).
/usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2
Graphical PIN entry program that uses the GTK+ tool kit version 2
(package pinentry-gtk2).
/usr/bin/pinentry-fltk
Graphical PIN entry program that uses the Fast Light Toolkit (FLTK)
(package pinentry-fltk).
The graphical variants automatically fall back to the curses interface
if no desktop environment is available. So for example, if you
frequently switch between text mode and KDE, and you want to use both
Mutt and KMail with GnuPG pass-phrase agent support, then configuring
/usr/bin/pinentry-qt would work. (In this case, leaving your
configuration alone would also work, if you only have pinentry-qt
installed)
Note that while pinentry-curses and pinentry-tty will work in some
cases in a non-graphical environment, they are likely to fail when
used while sharing a tty with a terminal-intensive program like emacs.
If a graphical pinentry isn't possible, the recommended workaround is
to have a pinentry-tty or pinentry-curses attached to a separate,
dedicated pseudoterminal. (see https://dev.gnupg.org/T3217 for more
details)
