thanks I've tried your packages today on a GNU Stretch system
and got working Gnupg 2.2.5.

For the X11 based pinentries: You could recommend the needed minimum set of 
X11 dependencies, to ease installation for people who want a graphical 
pinentry.

Your page is quite helpful, my suggestion is to add or link an example how to 
set the path, e.g. sourcing a bash file like

::::::::::::::
setgnupg
::::::::::::::
base=/opt/gnupg

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$base/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export MANPATH=$base/share/man:$MANPATH
export PATH=$base/bin:$PATH
::::::::::::::

Best Regards,
Bernhard
