Now... has anyone proposing this actually done the work and noted which configure options get disabled when building gpgme against only one of gnupg or gnupg2. I remember there was differences when I was looking into this for the same request made back in 2010 (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22110). I can not remember the results, but I remember there was a difference.
I tried building it only against gnupg2, and as far as I could tell it made no difference. If I understood correctly building against gnupg1 means that we don't get support for gpgms (at least).
Dropping gnupg2 does not sound like a good idea, as that means people would have to build a second verision of gpgme to get gnupg2 features.
I believe you can use make/optdepends there...
Furthermore, if we drop gnupg1, we could eventually drop it from the repos all together, which would not be the case for gnup2 as it has more features people might need.
I think thet gnupg1 is more suited to what _ALL_ Arch systems use gpgme for. The simple verification of package signatures. Allan
