+
+* INTRODUCTION
+
+  GnuPG is a complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard
+  as defined by RFC4880 (also known as PGP).  GnuPG enables encryption
+  and signing of data and communication, and features a versatile key
+  management system as well as access modules for public key
+  directories.
+
+  GnuPG, also known as GPG, is a command line tool with features for
+  easy integration with other applications.  A wealth of frontend
+  applications and libraries are available that make use of GnuPG.
+  Starting with version 2 GnuPG provides support for S/MIME and Secure
+  Shell in addition to OpenPGP.
+
+  GnuPG is Free Software (meaning that it respects your freedom). It
+  can be freely used, modified and distributed under the terms of the
+  GNU General Public License.
+
+  Note that the 2.0 series of GnuPG reached end-of-life on 2017-12-31.
+  It is not possible to install a 2.2.x version along with any 2.0.x
+  version.
+
+* BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
+
+  GnuPG 2.2 depends on the following GnuPG related packages:
+
+    npth         (https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/npth/)
+    libgpg-error (https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgpg-error/)
+    libgcrypt    (https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libgcrypt/)
+    libksba      (https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libksba/)
+    libassuan    (https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libassuan/)
+
+  You should get the latest versions of course, the GnuPG configure
+  script complains if a version is not sufficient.
+
+  For some advanced features several other libraries are required.
+  The configure script prints diagnostic messages if one of these
+  libraries is not available and a feature will not be available..
+
+  You also need the Pinentry package for most functions of GnuPG;
+  however it is not a build requirement.  Pinentry is available at
+  https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/pinentry/ .
+
+  After building and installing the above packages in the order as
+  given above, you may continue with GnuPG installation (you may also
+  just try to build GnuPG to see whether your already installed
+  versions are sufficient).
+
+  As with all packages, you just have to do
+
+    ./configure
+    make
+    make check
+    make install
+
+  The "make check" is optional but highly recommended.  To run even
+  more tests you may add "--enable-all-tests" to the configure run.
+  Before running the "make install" you might need to become root.
+
+  If everything succeeds, you have a working GnuPG with support for
+  OpenPGP, S/MIME, ssh-agent, and smartcards.  Note that there is no
+  binary gpg but a gpg2 so that this package won't conflict with a
+  GnuPG 1.4 installation.  gpg2 behaves just like gpg.
+
+  In case of problem please ask on the gnupg-users@gnupg.org mailing
+  list for advise.
+
+  Instruction on how to build for Windows can be found in the file
+  doc/HACKING in the section "How to build an installer for Windows".
+  This requires some experience as developer.
+
+  Note that the PKITS tests are always skipped unless you copy the
+  PKITS test data file into the tests/pkits directory.  There is no
+  need to run these test and some of them may even fail because the
+  test scripts are not yet complete.
+
+  You may run
+
+    gpgconf --list-dirs
+
+  to view the default directories used by GnuPG.
+
+  To quickly build all required software without installing it, the
+  Speedo method may be used:
+
+    make -f build-aux/speedo.mk  native
+
+  This method downloads all required libraries and does a native build
+  of GnuPG to PLAY/inst/.  GNU make is required and you need to set
+  LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $(pwd)/PLAY/inst/lib to test the binaries.
+
+** Specific build problems on some machines:
+
+*** Apple OSX 10.x using XCode
+
+  On some versions the correct location of a header file can't be
+  detected by configure.  To fix that you should run configure like
+  this
+
+    ./configure  gl_cv_absolute_stdint_h=/usr/include/stdint.h
+
+  Add other options as needed.
+
+
+*** Systems without a full C99 compiler
+
+  If you run into problems with your compiler complaining about dns.c
+  you may use
+
+    ./configure --disable-libdns
+
+  Add other options as needed.
+
+* MIGRATION from 1.4 or 2.0 to 2.2
+
+  The major change in 2.2 is gpg-agent taking care of the OpenPGP
+  secret keys (those managed by GPG).  The former file "secring.gpg"
+  will not be used anymore.  Newly generated keys are stored in the
+  agent's key store directory "~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d/".  The
+  first time gpg needs a secret key it checks whether a "secring.gpg"
+  exists and copies them to the new store.  The old secring.gpg is
+  kept for use by older versions of gpg.
+
+  Note that gpg-agent now uses a fixed socket.  All tools will start
+  the gpg-agent as needed.  The formerly used environment variable
+  GPG_AGENT_INFO is ignored by 2.2.  The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment
+  variable should be set to a fixed value.
+
+  The Dirmngr is now part of GnuPG proper and also used to access
+  OpenPGP keyservers.  The directory layout of Dirmngr changed to make
+  use of the GnuPG directories.  Dirmngr is started by gpg or gpgsm as
+  needed. There is no more need to install a separate Dirmngr package.
+
+  All changes introduced with GnuPG 2.2 have been developed in the 2.1
+  series of releases.  See the respective entries in the file NEWS.
+
+* RECOMMENDATIONS
+
+** Socket directory
+
+  GnuPG uses Unix domain sockets to connect its components (on Windows
+  an emulation of these sockets is used).  Depending on the type of
+  the file system, it is sometimes not possible to use the GnuPG home
+  directory (i.e. ~/.gnupg) as the location for the sockets.  To solve
+  this problem GnuPG prefers the use of a per-user directory below the
+  the /run (or /var/run) hierarchy for the the sockets.  It is thus
+  suggested to create per-user directories on system or session
+  startup.  For example the following snippet can be used in
+  /etc/rc.local to create these directories:
+
+      [ ! -d /run/user ] && mkdir /run/user
+      awk -F: </etc/passwd '$3 >= 1000 && $3 < 65000 {print $3}' \
+        | ( while read uid rest; do
+              if [ ! -d "/run/user/$uid" ]; then
+                mkdir /run/user/$uid
+                chown $uid /run/user/$uid
+                chmod 700 /run/user/$uid
+              fi
+            done )
+
+* DOCUMENTATION
+
+  The complete documentation is in the texinfo manual named
+  `gnupg.info'.  Run "info gnupg" to read it.  If you want a a
+  printable copy of the manual, change to the "doc" directory and
+  enter "make pdf" For a HTML version enter "make html" and point your
+  browser to gnupg.html/index.html.  Standard man pages for all
+  components are provided as well.  An online version of the manual is
+  available at [[https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/]] .  A
+  version of the manual pertaining to the current development snapshot
+  is at [[https://gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg-devel/]] .
+
+* Installing GnuPG 2.2. and GnuPG 1.4
+
+  GnuPG 2.2 is a current version of GnuPG with state of the art
+  security design and many more features.  To install both versions
+  alongside, it is suggested to rename the 1.4 version of "gpg" to
+  "gpg1" as well as the corresponding man page.  Newer releases of the
+  1.4 branch will likely do this by default.  In case this is not
+  possible, the 2.2 version can be installed under the name "gpg2"
+  using the configure option --enable-gpg-is-gpg2.
+
+* HOW TO GET MORE INFORMATION
+
+  A description of new features and changes since version 2.1 can be
+  found in the file "doc/whats-new-in-2.1.txt" and online at
+  "https://gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html" .
+
+  The primary WWW page is "https://gnupg.org"
+             or using Tor "http://ic6au7wa3f6naxjq.onion"
+  The primary FTP site is "https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/"
+
+  See [[https://gnupg.org/download/mirrors.html]] for a list of
+  mirrors and use them if possible.  You may also find GnuPG mirrored
+  on some of the regular GNU mirrors.
+
+  We have some mailing lists dedicated to GnuPG:
+
+     gnupg-announce@gnupg.org   For important announcements like new
+                                versions and such stuff.  This is a
+                                moderated list and has very low traffic.
+                                Do not post to this list.
+
+     gnupg-users@gnupg.org      For general user discussion and
+                                help (English).
+
+     gnupg-de@gnupg.org         German speaking counterpart of
+                                gnupg-users.
+
+     gnupg-ru@gnupg.org         Russian speaking counterpart of
+                                gnupg-users.
+
+     gnupg-devel@gnupg.org      GnuPG developers main forum.
+
+  You subscribe to one of the list by sending mail with a subject of
+  "subscribe" to x-request@gnupg.org, where x is the name of the
+  mailing list (gnupg-announce, gnupg-users, etc.). See
+  https://gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html for archives
+  of the mailing lists.
+
+  Please direct bug reports to [[https://bugs.gnupg.org]] or post them
+  direct to the mailing list <gnupg-devel@gnupg.org>.
+
+  Please direct questions about GnuPG to the users mailing list or one
+  of the PGP newsgroups; please do not direct questions to one of the
+  authors directly as we are busy working on improvements and bug
+  fixes.  The English and German mailing lists are watched by the
+  authors and we try to answer questions when time allows us.
+
+  Commercial grade support for GnuPG is available; for a listing of
+  offers see https://gnupg.org/service.html.  Maintaining and
+  improving GnuPG requires a lot of time.  Since 2001 g10 Code GmbH, a
+  German company owned and headed by GnuPG's principal author Werner
+  Koch and Gpg4win maintainer Andre Heinecke, is bearing the majority
+  of these costs.  Under the brand https://gnupg.com g10 Code GmbH
+  does now provide commercial offers.  Donations are also appreciated;
+  see https://gnupg.org/donate/ .
