Building the sks database from a dump takes a very long time, a lot

whole BDB from one host to another? I am switching hosts.
I'm not sure if it's recommended, but I've done that successfully (where
successfully is defined as it doesn't seem to have broken anything yet).
On two Ubuntu 14.04 systems, both with SKS 1.1.4, it was pretty easy:
1. Stop the SKS service on the old system: sudo service sks stop
2. Install SKS on the new host, if I haven't done so already: sudo
apt-get install sks. Using the package automatically creates the
debian-sks user. If you're compiling from source your mileage may vary.
3. Copy /var/lib/sks/* from the old to the new host (I did this using
rsync, but you can use whatever you wish).
4. Ensure that the directory and its contents on the new host have
proper permissions: for example, sudo chown -R debian-sks:debian-sks
/var/lib/sks/
5. On the new host edit /etc/default/sks, set initstart=yes. Ensure that
/etc/sks/membership and /etc/sks/sksconf are setup appropriately.
6. Start SKS on the new host: sudo service sks start
Just be carefull when your Architecture changes. As long as it's 64bit
x86 - 64bit x86 this should work, if you do 32bit - 64bit or the other
way 'round not so much ;-)
