Not tomorrow, but it will be just a month later.

I gather the required > additions are not too large. Sorry, I have no idea what to add to the existing documentation (the Commentary section), really. As I indicated in the previous post, if pinentry.el doesn't work, it is likely to be failing in somewhere else than Emacs (e.g. Debian packaging of GnuPG and pinentry). It's not obvious to me what we should suggest to the user in that case. Regards, -- Daiki Ueno
