If patches are going to be produced for PGP 2.3a for those of us outside the USA who wish to send PGP encrypted data to USA users of v2.6, will the patches also enable a key from a patched 2.3a to be put onto a USA key-server that only accepts v2.6 keys - will the keys be labelled as v2.6?
I posted a patch to cypherpunks yesterday that does that.
I take it Pr0duct Cypher's patch doesn't include this?
I don't think it does.
Maybe instead of many people producing different patches (some of which will be good and some bad) a new version (labelled as v2.6euro?) should be released from outside the USA that is derived from 2.3a code; therefore producing a version that is no different in _appearance_ to MIT's v2.6.
mathew@mantis.co.uk is working my patch plus some other stuff into a brand new version to be called 2.6ui (where the "ui" stands for "unofficial international"). It will be packaged as a complete release, with .tar files and .zip files and .sig files etc. The raw patch file will also be there. --apb (Alan Barrett)
