Hi
I will change the keyserver software on wwwkeys.ch.pgp.net / pgp.keyserver.ch to new software which uses gpg to handle the key merging.
This will give a jump in the generated wot, because it can handle keys which are not handled be the pksd used today.
I try to keep the interruption of the keyserver service as small as possible. Exact time is not yet fixed, but it will be this weekend.
The switch has happened now, which can be seen by the sudden increase in file size from 1.1 MiB to 1.3 MiB for the latest file at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jc/wotsap/wots/ . Taking a closer look at the .wot files shows that the number of keys increased from 30801 to 34995 and the number of signatures from 289333 to 328855.
This is a good time to introduce another change which affects those who automatically fetch the generated .wot files. http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jc/wotsap/wots/ has gotten quite large. It contains 904 .wot files and the index page takes quite a long time to render in a web browser.
A new and improved directory structure is now available at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~jc/wotsap/wots2/ . For now they are both being updated, but it would be nice to be able to stop updating the old all-files-in-one-directory structure. If nobody has any objections, the old structure will continue to be updated for another month, then it will be frozen.
