[jira] [Commented] (INFRA-7039) keys-fetch.py does not handle V3 key fingerprints

Gavin commented on INFRA-7039:
------------------------------

I've had a look around, there are servers that support v3 - like sks and its pool, however the percentage of users on v3 as opposed to v4 is like 4%. How about we just dont support v3 and ask folks to migrate to v4+ ?

> If an LDAP key entry uses V3 fingerprint, the key fetch process does not work.
> This is because the server that is used - keys.gnupg.net - does not support v3 fingerprints.
> As a temporary work-round, I have added a command-line option to load keys by id; this means finding the id which corresponds to the v3 fingerprint.
> It is not possible to derive the id directly from a v3 fingerprint, so this requires a manual search, followed by manually adding the id.
> It would be useful if V3 fingerprints were directly supported.
> For example, maybe there is a GPG server that supports search by V3 fingerprint?
> Alternatively, perhaps the manual search could be automated?
