My key is 0x99242560, but shows up on wwwkeys.ch.pgp.net > as 0x68FDDBC7. Neither keyid shows up in Wotsap, though. Yep, that's the problem. If pks doesn't return the key I ask for I can't include the key - we don't extract all keys, just the ones that are referenced in seen signatures. (It might have worked before when pks also parsed the keys for signatures if it wrote the incorrect keyid there too, but GnuPG takes care of that now.) Patrick, would upgrading pks make it calculate these keyids correctly? Jörgen

[jc@lysator.liu.se: [Wotsap-announce] Announce: Wotsap 0.6 and Leaf of Trust analysis]

I sent this to the wotsap-announce list yesterday, but since I haven't told anyone about it it doesn't have many subscribers. Anyway: ----- Forwarded message from Jorgen Cederlof <jc(a)lysator.liu.se> ----- From: Jorgen Cederlof <jc(a)lysator.liu.se> To: wotsap-announce(a)lists.lysator.liu.se, gnupg-users(a)gnupg.org, keyanalyze-discuss(a)dtype.org Subject: [Wotsap-announce] Announce: Wotsap 0.6 and Leaf of Trust analysis Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2004 16:06:42 +0100 Hi, Version 0.6 of Web of trust statistics and pathfinder, Wotsap, is now running on and available from http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jc/wotsap/. In the development process I found some pretty image representations of the Web of Trust that might interest many readers of this mail. Take a look at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jc/wotsap/leafoftrust.html for images and analysis. Some of the changes since last version: - The web pages have been given a well-needed face lift. - Much more documentation - Stabler and better search URLs. - News in HTML, Atom and RSS formats. - Mailing lists - All keys and signatures are now verified with GnuPG. - The primary user ID is now always used. - Indication of signature cert check level and whether the primary user ID was signed. - New .wot file format including signature types. - Key statistics can show the signatures that would lower MSD most (by Marco Bodrato) - Group matrices - show all signatures within a group of keys. - Option to dynamically add signatures, exclude signatures, signature types, non-cross-signatures and keys for the duration of a query. Stand-alone program only: - Better command line handling. - Show a whole .wot file in human-readable format. - Show all differences between two .wot files. - Everything now works without warnings in Python 2.3, should work fine in Python 2.4 and has compatibility for Python 2.2. Thanks for all the encouragement and ideas I received from lots of people during this development cycle. Jörgen Cederlöf ----- End forwarded message -----

A big thanks to Patrick Feisthammel for running pks2wot on his key server and for lots of help and ideas getting it fast enough to be useable. I hope everyone have been able to make the transition to the new format. I have just made a partial update myself and am not yet using the new information, but I will make lots of updates soon.
