Version 0.1 of package Pinentry has just been released in GNU ELPA.
You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Pinentry describes itself as:
====================================
GnuPG Pinentry server implementation
====================================
More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/pinentry.html
## Summary:
This package allows GnuPG passphrase to be prompted through the
minibuffer instead of graphical dialog.
To use, add "allow-emacs-pinentry" to "~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf",
reload the configuration with "gpgconf --reload gpg-agent", and
start the server with M-x pinentry-start.
The actual communication path between the relevant components is
as follows:
gpg --> gpg-agent --> pinentry --> Emacs
where pinentry and Emacs communicate through a Unix domain socket
created at:
${TMPDIR-/tmp}/emacs$(id -u)/pinentry
under the same directory which server.el uses. The protocol is a
subset of the Pinentry Assuan protocol described in (info
"(pinentry) Protocol").
