This document explains how to install my patched version of gpg4win.
About gpg4win
gpg4win is an easy to install package for the Windows operating system containing several GnuPG related software components. The projects homepage is at http://www.gpg4win.org/.
The patched version
I have built a version of the gpg4win package containing my Multikey-enhanced version of GnuPG instead of the official version. Get it here:
- The package: gpg4win-1.1.1.exe
- Detached signature my be: gpg4win-1.1.1.exe.asc
MD5 checksum: 945f0fa0dea2b2bfdc0fbb8d5df8167e gpg4win-1.1.1.exe
SHA1 checksum: 776c79aa9e23fa22afda29d1b5f41898c98413b4 gpg4win-1.1.1.exe
Legal note: gpg4win is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. By putting the above link on this page, I publish a modified version of GnuPG, thus requiring me to publish the source code for the modified version under the same licensing conditions as well. I am doing so, since the only modification to this package is the substitution of the official GnuPG package with my multikey-enabled version. The patch for the multikey feature can be downloaded from MultikeysForGnuPG.
Before installing DO NOT FORGET to check the downloaded files integrity. Either by using an already installed GnuPG version or by comparing the checksum of the downloaded file with the checksums above.
Notes
In theory, the hacked gpg4win should work just like the official one with the exception that the hacked one contains the multikey functionality. In case, the hacked version does NOT work as expected and you assume that it is somehow related to my patch, then please DO NOT BOTHER the developers of the official GnuPG version for help, instead contact ME!
