Serously: I can do FL/OSS comedy standup on one leg with my

where de facto common sense might be saner?

I'm not sure what DNS has to do with this. But unless this fork is
(assuming it comes to pass) going to establish its own keyserver pool
separate from the current SKS, it is obviously going to have to work
with existing servers. It seems to me self-evident that whether a new
pool were created or not (and nothing I've seen suggests that it would
be) that it would be best for all concerned if keyservers are compatible
with each other.

That said, your point about expecting people who are already pissed to
comply with directives about the form a fork should take seems apropos.
A false claim to authority can only make matters worse.

Do these questions need explicit answers?

Even if an answer for how to handle version forks were
specified, is there any reason to believe that anyone
on a "fork" is going to comply with the specification?

And wouldn't patience to see whether there actually
is a SKS fork, with a need to specify forked version pool acceptance
criteria, perhaps with administrative delegation to inter-continental
and inter-national naming authorities, registered/distributed through DNS,
with creepy-toe certificate compliance, and more … wouldn't
a bit of patience be more prudent than this continued stoopid thread?

Survival of the fittest … forks usually suffer the same fate as genetic 
mutations.

Hi,

I have started pondering on policy regarding a possible fork and its
criteria for inclusion in the main pool of sks-keyservers.net

Currently I have the following requirements:
 (i)A forked project MUST use a separate name from SKS
 (ii)   The separate name MUST be identifiable in the status page of
the server under a Software heading *
 (iii)  The forked project SHOULD use its own versioning
 (iv)   The forked project SHOULD implement a SKS_recon compatibility
variable based on the branch of the official SKS it is merged from,
and that is transmitted as version in the recon process.

[*] As a starting point; This can be accomplished, e.g. by using the
patch from http://kfwebs.com/patch-sks-fork.patch

Although I'm neither an SKS maintainer nor a Debian SKS administrator, I
have to say the lack of source code confuses me.  There are certain
minimum standards associated with the GPL, and source availability is
one of them.  There are also minimum standards associated with software
essential to security infrastructure, and likewise source availability
is one of them.

So, yes.  Although I've not received a copy of the forked binary, I
would strongly encourage Jens and Sebastian to make a tarball available
post-haste.  I would also encourage them to change the name of their
release: "sks" refers to the package officially maintained by Yaron
Minsky, and referring to their repackaging (and yet-to-be-approved
patches) as "sks" will create needless confusion among the community.

I'm not one of these people who believes forks are evil and must be
avoided.  Forks can foster wild creativity: look at, e.g., gcc => egcs.
But just as egcs had the courtesy to stop calling themselves gcc (until
such time as egcs became officially blessed by the gcc devs as the next
release of gcc), this package needs to have the same courtesy.

I believe that if source is published and the name of the package is
changed, this will address pretty much all the concerns voiced by
people on this list.

So, my requests:

1.  Source code
2.  Change of name
3.  An end to all this useless squabbling
