New version 1.1.4 available

[H.-Dirk Schmitt]

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/690135:

Package: sks
Severity: wishlist

I'll package it for myself in the next days.

Once the new package will be working on my keyserver I'll update this ticket with a link to it.

I wonder if you could add a distributed VCS repository under collab-maintain to better collaborate. If you want I volunteer to prepare a git one.

Excerpt from release notes:

What's New in 1.1.4
====================
  - Fix X-HKP-Results-Count so that limit=0 returns no results, but
    include the header, to let a client poll for how many results
    exist, without retrieving any. Submitted by Phil Pennock. See:
    http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/sks-devel/2010-11/msg00015.html
  - Add UPGRADING document to explain upgrading Berkeley DB without
    rebuilding. System bdb versions often change with new SKS releases
    for .deb and .rpm distros.
  - Cleanup build errors for bdb/bdb_stubs.c. Patch from Mike Doty
  - Update cryptokit from version 1.0 to 1.5 without requiring OASIS
    build system or other additional dependencies
  - build, fastbuild, & pbuild fixed to ignore signals USR1 and USR2
  - common.ml and reconSC.ml were using different values for minumimum
    compatible version. This has been fixed.
  - Added new server mime-types, and trying another default document
    (Issue 6)
    In addition to the new MIME types added in 1.1.[23], the server now
    looks over a list and and serves the first index file that it finds
    Current list: index.html, index.htm, index.xhtml, index.xhtm,
    index.xml.
  - options=mr now works on get as well as (v)index operations. This is
    described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-shaw-openpgp-hkp-00
    sections 3.2.1.1. and 5.1.
  - Updated copyright notices in source files
  - Added sksclient tool, similar to old pksclient
  - Add no-cache instructions to HTTP response (in order for reverse
    proxies not to cache the output from SKS)
  - Use unique timestamps for keydb to reduce occurrances of Ptree
    corruption.
  - Added Interface specifications (.mli files) for modules that were
    missing them
  - Yaron pruned some no longer needed source files from the tree.
  - Improved the HTTP status and HTTP error codes returned for various
    situations and added checks for more error conditions.
  - Add a suffix to version (+) indicating non-release or development
    builds
  - Add an option to specify the contact details of the server
    administrator
    that shows in the status page of the server. The information is in
    the form of an OpenPGP KeyID and set by server_contact: in sksconf
  - Add a `sks version` command to provide information on the setup.
  - Added configuration settings for the remaining database table
    files. If no pagesize settings are in sksconf, SKS will use 2048
    bytes for key and 512 for ptree. The remainining files' pagesize
    will be set by BDB based on the filesystem settings, typically this
    is 4096 bytes. See sampleConfig/sksconf.typical for settings
    recommended by db_tuner.
  - Makefile: Added distclean target. Dropped autogenerated file from
    VCS.
  - Allow tuning BDB environment before creation in [fast]build and
    pbuild. If DB_CONFIG exists in basedir, copy it to DB dir before DB
    creation. Preference is given to DB_CONFIG.KDB and DB_CONFIG.PTree
    over DB_CONFIG.
  - Add support for Elliptic Curve Public keys (ECDSA, ECDH)
  - Add check if an upload is a revocation certificate, and if it is,
    produce an error message tailored for this.

[H.-Dirk Schmitt (dirk-computer42)]

A "no change" backport of the debian version is provided in ppa:dirk-computer42/c42-backport
See http://www.computer42.org/xwiki-static/exported/DevNotes/xwiki.DevNotes.c42-ppa.html

The backport was built without further dependencies updated and problems in my ppa.
