I tried
git annex initremote encsharedtest type=directory encryption=shared directory=/home/lee/gitannexplay
and got errors:
initremote encsharedtest gpg: error reading key: public key not found
Looks like it thinks "shared" should be the name of a key rather than an instruction to use the shared cipher. Am I doing something wrong?
That's the right syntax, and it works when I try it, even if I move my
~/.gnupgdirectory away.You sure you have a new enough git-annex for the shared cipher feature? It appeared in version 3.20120430
You could try passing the
--debugoption to see what it's trying to do with gpg when it fails.
