We package them as python-gpg.

However, this PyPi-based package seems to be abandoned by the GPGME
maintainers. At least, it doesn't get updated regularly.

I've been trying to build the bindings as part of the GPGME build, so
that we can get the latest version, but I haven't had time to finish the
work yet.

Once we are able to build the bindings from the latest GPGME, we will be
able to drop the pygpgme package and just use the GPGME bindings for
the package 'alot', which is the only user of pygpgme.

[Message part 6 (text/plain, inline)]

The 2.0 series of GnuPG will stop receiving upstream support at the the
end of the year:

"GnuPG 2.0 is an older branch of GnuPG. This branch will reach end-of-life on
2017-12-31." [0]

These patches adjust the two packages that use gnupg-2.0 to prepare for removing
or deprecating that package.
