The previous default "pool.sks-keyservers.net" doesn't seem to work anymore;
besides, users know best.

* guix/gnupg.scm (%openpgp-key-server): Default to #f, meaning not provided.
(gnupg-receive-keys): Make SERVER and KEYRING keyword arguments.  Adjust doc.
Provide the '--keyserver' argument only when %openpgp-key-server is not #f.
(gnupg-verify*): Do not set a default value for SERVER.  Adjust accordingly.

Does this mean some "guix time-machine" could be broken?

I don't think so, else I fail to see the relationship.

Thanks,

If a server was used for doing something by Guix at version A, then
this server is now down, is the something still now doable using this
old version A of Guix?  Where this old version A is reachable by "guix
time-machine".

Maybe it does not make sense and it is not relevant.

simon

The default server that was hard-coded in Guix (or in GnuPG) in the past
would still not work *now*, even using an older Guix commit :-).

So I do not think it is relevant.

Thanks,

Maxim

Yeah, for sure.  My question is: because this server is not working
*now* and hard-coded on previous version, is "guix time-machine" still
working for all the subcommands?  Or is it broken as collateral damage
of server down + hard coded? :-)

simon

guix time-machine is not broken as a whole, but the 'guix refresh
--update' commands that makes use of the (guix gnupg) module would for
sure in whichever commit of Guix, unless pool.sks-keyservers.net is
revived.  As a workaround, the --key-server option can be set to
hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com (what became the default in recent GnuPG
releases).

Thanks,

Maxim

Thanks for explaining.  Perfect if there is a (almost) straightforward
workaround. :-)

LGTM!
