However I am not Actually I still use GPA for testing things, in particular new GPGME features. That is because I find it much easier to hack on GPA than on Kleopatra/Libkleo. Compiles faster and the code is easier to understand. I have not done releases because my co-developers convinced me that it is better to concentrate on one GUI frontend and they want Kleopatra. Frankly we are putting a huge amount of work and money into Kleopatra and it won't be easily to get GPA to the same level of UX. That said, I don't known whether it makes sense to keep GPA in Debian. Building from source is easy enough and that is sufficient for having GPA as a testbench. If there are enough voices to keep GPA as binary package, I would spend some time on making a new release. But in the long run we need an upstream maintainer for GPA. I can't promise to do that; there are anyway too many things I have to care about.
