Subject: [PATCH 1/3] */: Say OpenPGP instead of PGP
Date: Sat, 9 May 2026 20:50:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260509185022.289672-2-guillem@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260509185022.289672-1-guillem@debian.org>
From: Guillem Jover <guillem@hadrons.org>
The IETF draft is called OpenPGP, where PGP is the original
implementation from where the specification was based on. For file
artifacts «.pgp» is the correct short term to use though, which can
be considered the more implementation neutral name to use.
