Re: I deleted 80 % of my keyring, but my keybox file isn't shrinking
Thanks, that explains it. And the faketime gpgsm command worked (after installing faketime). But that's a hack, and users should not have to do this. Especially since GnuPG 2.1 defauls to keybox and more people recommend it with of the recent flooding issues. I opened an issue to track this: https://dev.gnupg.org/T4644 Werner Koch: Good catch. In gpg we have not implenteted the compression run: faketime -f +3 gpgsm -k foo >/dev/null -- ilf If you upload your address book to "the cloud", I don't want to be in it. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

In gpg we have not implenteted the compression run: /* FIXME: Do a compress run if needed and no other user is currently using the keybox. */ However, in gpgsm this is done. It does not work immediately but is run only on gpgsm invocation iff there has been np update operaion in the last 3 hours. Thus to force a compression run you can do: faketime -f +3 gpgsm -k foo >/dev/null Note that gpgsm's option --faked-system-time does not work here ( I pushed a fix, though). > PS: This could probably be updated: > >> Well, OpenPGP keys are not implemented, gpg still used the keyring >> file pubring.gpg.
