redmine_contacts_helpdesk_gpg

Requirements

• Redmine 3.4-4.0
• RedmineCRM's Contacts plugin (pro or light)
• RedmineCRM's Helpdesk plugin (pro)

This plugin does not provide a (licensed) copy of RedmineCRM's plugins. Please get your own. :)

Installation

Prepare OS

Install these packages

• gnupg_1.4.xx
• optional: gpgsm (on some OS bundled with gnupg)
• libgpgme11-dev (Name may vary depending on OS. It's the package providing executable 'gpgme-config')

Install required GEMs

gem install gpgme -- --use-system-libraries gem install mail-gpg

Please install gpgme with '--use-system-libraries' because otherwise gpgme would compile its own versions of gpg libraries.

Further development of this plugin expects gpgsm to be available and I hate mixing libraries from different sources.
