What's a reasonably efficient way to fetch a lot of keys, by fingerprint, from keyserver pools with HKPS?
Presently, the code is effectively this: ...cat-list-of-fingerprints... | xargs gpg --recv This has the downside of causing many execs. As an alternate, it was suggested that I could do manual HTTP fetches for each of the fingerprints, then verify the keyserver returned only the correct keys. This however, still runs into the problem of calling gpg many times. gpgme does an exec behind the scenes, for each call, so I'm wondering what other solutions are out there. Most useful would be feeding a list of fingerprints to --recv via a file descriptor, or feeding entire commands to a long-running GPG instance (but Assuan doesn't support RECV). The Assuan part echos a much older request of mine, that more operations should be available via Assuan, to efficiently sign or verify many files. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Asst.
