Hi,
Here is a patch to use gnupg-agent to store the passphrase in order to
only enter once your passphrase during a session.
- it checks if the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable is defined.
- if so, it means gpg-agent is or was running, so we can try to use it.
- if gpg-agent is not running, gpg will ask the passphrase as usual.
- If gpg-agent is running, it will ask the passphrase the first time
with pinentry. Next time you use reportbug in the same session the
passphrase won't be asked.
Bye,
Carl Chenet
