GnuPG upstream packages
=======================

This software was built and packaged by the
[GnuPG project](https://www.gnupg.org). We provide packages of our software
through our [package repositories](https://repos.gnupg.org/deb/gnupg/).

These packages are intended for users who want (or need) to use the latest
upstream versions of our projects. This includes stable releases as well as
beta versions for testing, depending on the repository you pick. We keep
these packages as close to the upstream releases as possible. This means that
in addition to bleeding edge versions, these packages also do not contain
patches that would make the software behave differently from what we intended.

Therefore, you will get all new features and the default behavior of GnuPG.
Some distributions only provide patched packages that are missing some new
features or behave rather differently compared to our original upstream
releases.

Should you run into technical issues or bugs related to our packages, please
do not hesitate to contact us. A good place to look for help is our
[forum](https://forum.gnupg.org) or the
[GnuPG users mailing list](https://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users).

You may also want to read the information on
[how to file bug reports](https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/bts.html).
Please do not use the bug tracker of your distribution for issues with
packages that you installed from our repositories, but get in touch with us.
