Arch Linux User Repository

some changes needed to get this working:

1.) currently due to https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issues/55/unbound-module-nat-in-cryptokit-on-ocaml it only works with ocaml 4.05.

Install agetpkg, then:

agetpkg -i ^ocaml 4.05.0; agetpkg -i ^camlp4 4.05

2.) This is also required for sks-recon.service (as root user):

cat > /tmp/sks-recon.service << EOF
[Unit]
Description=Synchronizing key server recon instance
After=network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target sks-db.service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=sks
Group=sks
PIDFile=/var/run/sks/sksrecon.pid
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sks recon
Requires=sks-db.service

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

systemctl daemon-reload

hey, @ajdiaz -

just a heads-up/FYI, looks like the recent ocaml bump in Arch has caused some problems with upstream.

i've filed a bug here: https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issues/55/unbound-module-nat-in-cryptokit-on-ocaml

Thank you @sanerb for the patches and the suggestions. Sorry for delay updating the PKGBUILD.

I added the debian_eventloop fix and your suggestions in systemd services.

additionally, your systemd service units need some work. Both sks-db.service and sks-recon.service need, under [Service]:

RuntimeDirectory=sks
RuntimeDirectoryMode=0755


I'd also throw Group=sks in the same section as well.

But the RuntimeDirectory is needed so systemd creates the /var/run/sks directory on start, and removes it on stop. Otherwise, you get this (IMPOSSIBLE to figure out and UTTERLY unhelpful) error message:

Fatal error: exception Failure("Failure while binding socket. Probably another socket bound to this address")

confirmed the debian patch fixes. updated PKGBUILD:

File "eventloop.ml", line 133, characters 15-19:

debian bug confirms: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=870150
gentoo bug confirms: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625546

there is a patch (which has been proposed upstream), https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=870150;filename=sks.patch;msg=15

Thank you elimpfor for your report. The package release 2 fix the uint32 type error.

Everything should work fine right now.

Getting the following while building:

Package does not build because of invalid GPG signature. The signatured defined in validpgpkeys is not valid for version 1.1.6 [1], instead of that we should use key C90EF1430B3AC0DFD00E6EA541259773973A612A.

Doesn't build. Not only is the upstream link broken and reported here: https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issue/2/use-of-deprecated-operator-or it also contains linkage errors searching for Berkeley DB 4.6. Use SKS-HG instead found here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sks-hg/

Problem seems to be solved in upstream.

The package is broken for me.

Error: Some fatal warnings were triggered (1 occurrences)
Makefile:386: recipe for target 'mArray.cmx' failed
make: *** [mArray.cmx] Error 2
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...

There is a bug in .service files for systemd. The "Type=fork" line must be "Type=simple" because the process stay in front.
And is a good idea add "TimeoutSec=300" for provide a reasonable time for startup and shutdown... ;)

updated. next I'll provide a systemd service file

orphan'd

update or orphan

Thanks for the update, but version 1.1.4 has just been released. :-/

Just updated it, thanks for the info!

sks_1.1.3-1ubuntu2.debian.tar.gz -> sks_1.1.3-1ubuntu3.debian.tar.gz, new md5sum is 274a4045df054c4f65216eeb283d0cb7

Cheers

I updated sks to version 1.1.3 and got it to build:
http://ompldr.org/vZWh2Yg/sks-1.1.3-1.src.tar.gz

Note that I didn't test this so you should double check my work.

The package needs to updated to SKS version 1.1.3 by 1 August 2012 for continued participation in the keyservers pool, per Kristian Fiskerstrand, 24 June 2012. The current source may be found at https://bitbucket.org/yminsky/sks-keyserver/downloads (it is no longer on Google Code) and the cryptokit stuff will need to be fixed for it to work.

its currently a hakish PKGBUILD...but it seems to work.

should be hopefully fixed.

wget: unable to resolve host address «f.h-ix.net»

worksforme

I get the following error when building sks: http://pastebin.com/TsnAjHwD

done. thanks

Thanks for PKGBUILD.
Please, add `mkdir /var/spool/sks && chown sks:sks /var/spool/sks` to install script.
This directory is required for reconcillation (SKS stores dif files there).
