• age version: [jpb@jpbsd:~/.mykeep]$ age --version (devel)

What were you trying to do

Encrypt a file using a passphrase.

What happened

Error exit.

Looks like the '--encrypt' option is not recognized.

jpb@jpbsd:~]$ age --encrypt --passphrase --armor -o hosts.asc hosts
flag provided but not defined: -encrypt
Usage:
    age (-r RECIPIENT | -R PATH)... [--armor] [-o OUTPUT] [INPUT]
...
error exit

[jpb@jpbsd:~]$ echo $?
2

This is possibly a FreeBSD portage problem. Not sure...

Yeah, the FreeBSD port is way behind at v1.0.0-beta6, which didn't have -e at all. Also, they should be adding the ldflags to bake the version into the binary, so this kind of confusion is easier to debug.

Mind reporting it to them? Thank you!

Done.
