Hi, all. I have a stable development branch for Hockeypuck 2.2 that is ready for beta testing. If anyone wants to help test, please pull the latest branch at https://github.com/pgpkeys-eu/hockeypuck/tree/branch-2.2.0 onto a test machine, and restore from a fresh dump (this is important). For testing purposes, please comment out any SeenCache setting from your config file. New features include: * No more update churn! (TM) * No more images * Automatic deletion of personal data from hard-revoked keys (*) * Automatic deletion of corrupted and misplaced packets * Proper handling of detached revocation signatures This update will require a dump and reload due to the large number of corrupt packets that need to be cleaned from the dataset. While it is technically possible to upgrade in-place and wait for the database to self-clean, this is highly inefficient and causes a large amount of disk load. My test nodes thrashed for over a week when I tested this…! Note also that for the same reason hockeypuck 2.2 *will not* sync with either hockeypuck 2.1 or sks-keyserver 1.1.6 - it is necessary to impose a hard version bump to prevent the deltas overwhelming sync. Any further ideas, comments, or questions are welcome! :-) Thanks, A (* https://github.com/hockeypuck/hockeypuck/wiki/HIP-5:-Reliable-personal-data-deletion-using-self-signatures) [crossposted from [email protected]] _______________________________________________ Gnupg-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-devel
