How to install GPG on Unix Aix 7.2

    Posted Sun April 16, 2023 04:15 AM

     Hi Team ,

    i would like to install GPG on some LPAR 7.2 , 

    i have seen some links for downloading the packages and necessary libraries 

    GCC

    GnuPG


    old version can work in 7.2 ?   GnuPG

    AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software : Downloads alpha

     
    seems for the Os 7.2 there is not a specific opensource .
     
     Thanx for the opinions in advance.

    It's in the IBM aix toolbox, gpgme
    Better yet, install the dnf package, and run dnf install gpgme, and let it sort out dependencies

    Hi

    i have seen gpgme 

    i have no dnf 
    i have seen script for installing it

    but ..  i have thought , if i install the old version opensource
    http://v14700.1blu.de/aix/index.php?n=Main.Gnupg

    i must integrate only few lbraries

    if not i have to install so many lib

    and in more , gpgpme i dont know if works at the same time of the classic gpg with classic command gpg import etcetc
    or there are different modes and commands or cpypto modes

    thanx , regards

    Don't mix RPMs from the AIXToolbox and other places.  Even when there is no problem now, it frequently messes up when you start to update packages or add additional packages.

    BTW: That page is from 2017, you're missing almost 6 years of security patches.

    I should be on the download page 
    But yeah, I can get you what you need
    I'm in a meeting all day today, so it'll be later this afternoon before I can get to it
    But it was pretty straight forward

    If you don't have yum installed, I assume you don't , then run the script with -d, and that's it
    Now, if you have a crap-ton of rpm's already installed, you may run into dependency he'll just trying to get dnf installed.  
    We did rpm -e $(rpm -qa)
    Nuked everything and then installed dnf, (do the dnf update), then used dnf to reinstall what we really wanted (zip, unzip, less, rsync, gpgme.....)

    We did nuke a few vendor packages that we had to hand install because they aren't in the toolbox, but, minor work

    Here's the link for dnf package with all its dependencies.
    https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/ezinstall/ppc/dnf_aixtoolbox.sh

    recommend having openssl up to date for python 3 dependencies.   Those I don't know if I can point you to those directly, but you should have links from your regular maintenance processes...

    some of the open source software on tool box are not OS specific. They work for AIX.

    Massimiliano,

    With all the dependencies, have you considered using SSH and calling
    out to a Linux system with the latest GnuPG installed?
