The latest delay was not due to the database itself, but rather with PGP. We currently use the commercial PGP offering, and when you run "pgpv" on an encrypted file, it blocks waiting on TTY input, even when you use the --batch option. It works properly with *signed* messages, just not with encrypted messages. Unfortunately, this pauses the queue for other updates.
Thanks for explaining. Yes, commercial PGP is pretty broken.
In the new implementation, we intend to use GnuPG, which does not have this problem.
Which, unfortunately, has some interoperability problems with PGP 2 and/or PGP 5 as well :-( - but then, all users could change to GPG, which would be a good thing in itself :-) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- SpaceNet GmbH Mail: netmaster@Space.Net Joseph-Dollinger-Bogen 14 Tel : +49-89-32356-0 80807 Muenchen Fax : +49-89-32356-299
