Re: Keyserver for gpg.conf ?

Hello Gunnar,
thanks for your reply.

However, it seems to me that this keyserver (or keyserver network)
works unreliably.

I tried to refresh 50 keys and gpg found 17 of them on the keyserver
and exited with zero exit status.

Then I tried again to refresh *the same* 50 keys and gpg found only 3 of
them (+ 1 that it hadn't found in the previous run) and exited with
non-zero exit status, spitting out the following error message:

 gpg: keyserver refresh failed: No data

I had never had so many issues with a keyserver before last week...

That is very weird, and does not match my experience — but I see you share
my surprise :-] I hope it was a transient issue.

I will share this thread with some of the people responsible for servers in
that network. In any case, you can also use Noodles' keyserver, based on a
completely different codebase (Onak), at https://the.earth.li/ — I trust
him to be among the most capable operators, only that this keyserver does
not peer with any others TTBOMK.

Greetings,
