I did not port for the reason that KGpg depends on kdepimlibs (KABC), which
had no Qt5-based release yet (now it has), and I must confess I can occupy my
time with other stuff and was too lazy to build it from git. In fact I was
asked at least twice why there was no KF5-port and both were also too lazy to
build kdepimlibs stuff themself. Now that there is a release it makes actually
sense to port, so I hope I can manage it in time for 15.12. If someone is
bored and wants to assist I will not reject any efforts.
Kleopatra can do X.509, which KGpg can't. I never found that really missing.
And KGpg looks so much more beautiful ;) And it has the CAFF mode, which I
doubt Kleopatra has. And it supports photo ids, which I was told was
intentionally left out of Kleopatra for some policy reasons.
