Re: 'pubring.kbx' growing

Hi!

only some quick notes: The pubring.kbx will indeed grow unless you
delete keys and newer keys fit into that file space.  However, after
about 3 hours a compress run is done and the deleted file spaces are
removed.  The entire file won't shrink because the unused spaces is
marked for re-assignment.

You should not use 2.2 - that is our LTS version which is pretty old.
Better update to 2.4 and use that.  With this version you can use the
keyboxd to handle large numbers of keys much more efficient by employing
a database daemon.  See the section on the keyboxd in the README.

Sorry, I have not the time to look at you detailed description.


Shalom-Salam,

   Werner
