Summary
Document how Debian and Ubuntu contributors can make the distro-provided
python3-gpgbindings available inside the development virtual environment sothat the GPG-specific tests are exercised instead of skipped.
The original report in #37 concerned the removal of
gpgme-configandgpg-error-config. On current Ubuntu 24.04 these helpers are still absent, butthey no longer block the documented editable development install.
What remains reproducible is a documentation gap: the standard isolated virtual
environment cannot see the distro-provided
python3-gpgmodule, causing theGPG-specific tests to be skipped.
Verification
Tested on Ubuntu 24.04:
python3-gpgvisibility, 8 GPG-specific tests are skipped;python3-gpginstalled and a virtual environment created using--system-site-packages, bothbmaptoolandgpgare available;This also matches the project's native CI job, which uses the distro-provided
python3-gpgpackage to exercise the GPG tests.Closes #37
