Absolutely agree, and by chance I was already in the middle of preparing regular dumps from my server anyway. I had two motivations: - sharing some of the load, especially since we've already seen that this service can vanish very quickly otherwise - I struggled to find a good and recent dump when I first set up my box. I found plenty of advice on how to import the dump, and how to set up gossip sync, but no actual locations for *doing* this. > The biggest hurdle to setting up a keyserver is the initial populating of the > nearly 2.9M keys.

I'm happy to take on preparing a patch for the Debian package with instructions on where to find this list, but it will be too late for the next release now. -- Jonathan Wiltshire 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
