[Sks-devel] Request: Help getting historical number of keys

[Kristian Fiskerstrand]

Hi,

I've just added a chart for the number of OpenPGP keys at [0], however,
I don't have historical data about the number of keys since before this
was implemented on 4 July 2012.

This data is stored in SKS, however, the log is only kept since the time
of doing a (fast)build from a dump. On my own servers, I've been doing
too much testing, so oldest copy I have is from April of this year.

It would be really nice to show the historical development in the number
of keys, and as such, if anyone have a version of SKS running from an
older dump-file, I would appreciate the help in getting the data out of
it. In order to accomplish this I've written a client[1] that read the
log and output it in a semi-colon separated way, as shown below.

Alternatively, if you do not wish to change anything, but have a copy
running from an older dump, would you be willing to share a copy of the
KDB and Ptree for me to run against?
