Mailing List Archive: GPA contacting keyservers

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Has anyone had a problem contacting keyservers recently?

If I try to send or receive keys, I either instantly get an internal
keyserver error, or it says: 'contacting keyserver', and it stalls there.

I have Fedora FC4, and the most recent versions of everything. The
server I was trying to contact was subkeys.pgp.net
If you are able to contact keyservers with GPA, then please let me
know, so I can look to see what is wrong with my setup.

Thank You.

Gary

The keyserver support in GPA was still at version 0, while GnuPG moved
on to version 1.

I have hacked some minimal support for version 1. I am not sure it is
very robust, but it seems to do the job. I also changed the default
server. In SVN (wald.intevation.org):

2005-11-08 Marcus Brinkmann <marcus@g10code.de>

* server_access.c (write_command): New argument scheme.
(server_send_keys): Also to invocation.
(server_get_key): Likewise.
(check_errors): Don't look for errors if the exit status looks OK.
* keyserver.c (keyserver_read_list): Use HKP server as default,
drop LDAP surfnet server (seems to be down).

Thanks,
Marcus
