Port and add gnuPG(GPG) to the IBMi Open Source RPM's.

I can't find any recent port or precompiled AIX binary to use on the IBMi than version 1.40.10.

The latest available version is 2.2.6 and


Use Case:

Easy and well know utility to encrypt an sign files and having it i the IBMi Open Source RPM's would make a more recent version of gnuPG available to more IBMi shops.

    For servers running GnuPG in batch mode (which IBM i falls into since there is no TTY device), it's still recommended to use the 1.4 branch. But the current 1.4 branch is 1.4.22. 1.4.10 is quite old and is definitely behind on patches, etc. A distinct possibility would be develop an interface to GnuPG ME (Made Easy). It's designed for programmatic use of the GPG engine. The latest version of GnuPG ME is 1.11.0--just released on 4/18/2018.
