Kleopatra with Sequoia?

Hello, recently I saw this article about the conflict about PGP: Fedora and GPG 2.5 [LWN.net]

Since some distributions are already using Sequoia instead of GnuPG, I wonder if Kleopatra supports to work with Sequoia?

You can try using Sequoia’s Chameleon, which is an almost drop-in replacement for gpg. That is, it implements the same CLI as gpg, but uses Sequoia under the hood. (It also uses gpg-agent and reads from gpg’s certificate store so no migration is needed to get started.)

It’s almost a drop-in replacement and not a full replacement, because most, but not all functionality is implemented. If you find something missing or not working like gpg, then modulo a few deliberate divergences, which you can read about on the GitLab project page, it’s an issue and we’d be happy if you reported it to in the Chameleon’s issue tracker on gitlab.

On Debian you can install the Chameleon using the gpg-from-sq package, which will install the Chameleon and replace /usr/bin/gpg with the Chameleon. On Fedora, you can follow a guide (see our blog post from December 2024).

P.S. Apologies for not including links, but it appears I don’t have enough internet points.
