#83 GPG 2.1 --use-agent parameter

[David Parrish]

With GPG 2.1 the GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable is no longer required. Without that variable set, Duply doesn't not add the --use-agent option. Since I prefer to not set the GPG password in my configuration, Duply will ask me for my GPG password both on encrypting and signing. I'm not sure the fix, but --use-agent should set for my setup. I manually set this in the conf file using

# Turn on --use-agent option no matter what
DUPL_PARAMS="$DUPL_PARAMS --use-agent"

Here is the output I see if I don't manually add --use-agent in the conf file. Notice the GnuPG passphrase prompts:
