Emacs, gnupg and package list

Emacs, gnupg and package list

[Angelo Graziosi]

I have discovered that when (for example on Windows) I run from Run menu

   C:\Emacs.app\bin\emacs.exe -Q

and in Emacs:

   M-x package-list-packages

then in the HOME (i.e. C:\Users\utente\AppData\Roaming) a .gnupg 
directory is created. So the HOME contains both .emacs.d and .gnupg:

dir AppData\Roaming\
[...]
01/05/2016  02:32    <DIR>          .emacs.d
01/05/2016  02:33    <DIR>          .gnupg
[...]

I wonder if this is to be expected and if one can put .gnupg inside 
.emacs.d (I would expect all things regarding Emacs in .emacs.d).

I am not sure.. but maybe that this behavior is reproducible also on 
GNU/Linux...

Yes, the same here (Debian GNU/Linux).

It's expected: it's a software for data encryption/decryption
and authentication for data communication; it's not something to operate
exclusively on Emacs, so it's normal that the configuration files being
located under $HOME/.gnupg.

When you use it to download one ELPA package with package.el it also
creates a dir "gnupg" under `package-user-dir' ("~/.emacs.d/elpa" in my
setup).
