No. Mainly because I have some doubts that you will have Internet
access in jail ;-)

No. GNUPG does not use any patented algorithms. It is legal to export
gnupg from mayn countries but not from the U.S. Debian uses a German
server for all "non-US" stuff.

See:

for more.

Laptop and telephone are prohibited in jail? :-) I don't have any
experience to be in it. :-)

Thanks, I understood it. We will use non-US repository for this port.

BTW, can you check these patches for gnupg 0.4.1? FreeBSD-3.0 will be
released in 15th Oct., but this system is based on ELF binary by
default. So GNU configure system needs patches for this.
