HOWTO

# The GNU Privacy Assistant 0.7.3 (GPA)
# ===============================
# Version 0.7.3 is a development version, there's no stable version yet.

# The development site (http://wald.intevation.org/projects/gpa/) also shows
# a version 0.7.4, but verifying the gpg signature reports BAD.

# If you have trouble getting it with the URL below, you can also get
# it here (after the mirrors update):
# http://wald.intevation.org/frs/download.php/141/gpa-0.7.3.tar.bz2

# Prerequisites:
# gawk
# grep
# gpg
# gettext
# libiconv
# bison
# pkg-config
# gtk+ >= 2.0.0
# gpgme >= 1.1.1
