[Popcon-developers] Bug#729097: enabled by default encryption breaks multi-server submission unless they share the same key

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.60
Severity: important

For NeuroDebian we just made use of the feature that SUBMITURLS could list
multiple collection sites.  With 1.60 encrypt default 'maybe' enables
compression using popcon.debian.org key thus breaking processing upon receival
by neuro.debian.net's site which doesn't have the key available.  


What resolution would you recommend?

- disabling encryption on such setups (would require a round of upgrades on
  neurodebian installations.

- asking/getting/using your private GPG key you use  for encryption?

- anything else for a quick workaround?

I guess ideal "fix" would be to be able to control encryption options (KEYRING,
KEYID, ENCRYPT) per each of submiturl's... heh heh
