项目历史

The README frames reop as an extension of ideas from signify rather than an OpenPGP clone. It was written by Ted Unangst and uses NaCl/libsodium primitives for signing and encryption.

采用历史

reop was adopted mainly by BSD and Homebrew-style packaging channels as a compact alternative to larger tools such as GnuPG or OpenSSL for simple signing and encryption workflows. Homebrew packages version 2.1.1 from a ports distfile and marks it unmaintained.

使用方式

The manual documents modes for generating keys, encrypting, decrypting, signing, and verifying. It searches ~/.reop for default key files named seckey, pubkey, and pubkeyring, while command-line options can point to explicit key and message files.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

reop is notable to package maintainers because it is a small cryptographic CLI with a tight dependency story around libsodium, explicit limits, a simple trust model, and source releases that remain useful even without broad ecosystem adoption.
