I looked over OpenCDK HEAD and some comments:
* Can't we officially deprecate keygen.c and its interfaces, in the
same way that the trustdb.c interfaces have been deprecated? I'd
rather recommend people to use GnuPG to generate OpenPGP keys,
especially since GnuTLS doesn't have a command-line interface for
OpenCDK to generate keys.
* Is the keyserver stuff needed? It seems limited compared to the new
GnuPG keyserver stuff. I'm not sure GnuTLS ever needs this
functionality. I think the best solution is to use GnuPG's
keyserver infrastructure instead. I think we could deprecate this
too.
* I'd recomment that we use gnulib for CRC, Base64, several misc.c
functions, etc.
* Does keydb.c implement some disk-format for key databases? Is it
the GnuPG format?
* We probably should review the libgcrypt init code to make sure it
doesn't conflict with how GnuTLS initialize libgcrypt.
* Where is stream-socket.c used? keyservers? Maybe it could be
removed too, if keyserver stuff is removed.
