Re: CVS commit: src/crypto/external/bsd/netpgp/dist/src/hkpd

[Alistair Crooks <agc%pkgsrc.org@localhost>]

not really, i tried to shoehorn all of this into bozo, and it wasn't
willing to do it, and its cgi subsystem doesn't lend itself to this
kind of thing.  i'm fairly intimate with most of bozo's internals,
too.

the server itself is not that large.  if there's a common server-side
library that can be used, great, show me it, and i'll convert the hkpd
to use it.  libfetch certainly isn't up to the task.

regards,
alistair
