* GnuPG 1.4 and GnuPG 2.0
* Installing GnuPG 2.2. and GnuPG 1.4
GnuPG 2.0 is a newer version of GnuPG with additional support for
S/MIME. It has a different design philosophy that splits
functionality up into several modules. Both versions may be
installed simultaneously without any conflict (gpg is called gpg2 in
GnuPG 2). In fact, the gpg version from GnuPG 1.4 is able to make
use of the gpg-agent as included in GnuPG 2 and allows for seamless
passphrase caching. The advantage of GnuPG 1.4 is its smaller size
and no dependency on other modules at run and build time.
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.
