Decrypt and Extract Here Service Menu installs a service menu for Konqueror that decrypts and extracts the contents of encrypted tarballs.

Once install, a "Decrypt and Extract Here" entry is added to the Actions context menu in Konqueror. This entry will only appear for the file extensions defined in pgp-tarball.desktop. The following extensions are defined:

*.tar.gz.asc
*.tar.gz.gpg
*.tar.gz.pgp
*.tgz.asc
*.tgz.gpg
*.tgz.pgp

Currently only gzip compressed tar archives are supported. If there is a demand, other compression types (e.g. bzip2, zip, etc.) can be easily added. Simply email the athour and make the request.

Additionally, this RPM will modify the kgpg.desktop file by adding "application/pgp-tarball" to the MimeType entry. This allows encrypted tar archives to be opened by Kgpg (just like any other encrypted file would be).

Requirements:

What's New in This Release:
Added --use-agent to gpg command. If gpg and/or gpg-agent are not configured properly, the user will not be prompted for the passphrase.
The --use-agent switch seems to be a good workaround.
See the TROUBLESHOOTING section in /usr/share/doc/decrypttarball/INSTALL for information on configuring gpg-agent.
Added pinentry to the RPMs dependency list. pinentry provides the interface for entering the passphrase.
