Signing with gpg2, secring.pgp does not exist anymore

I try to use the signing plugin. But in the newer gpg versions (>=2.1) the secring.pgp doesn’t exist anymore.

Is there a possibility to use the signing plugin with the new gpg versions?

Any news about this issue? Currently it’s impossible to sign archives for anyone using GPG2

Yes got answered on stackoverflow and works for me

Does’t work for me. I have keys on a smart-card and need native support.

I’ve encountered the same issue and was forced to go back to using gpg 1. It seems like the signing plugin needs to be updated to support gpg2.
