 # jake's keyserver
 
 This program pokes gpg when it receives a key.  Then it does stuff to the output gpg produces and stores it in a postgres database.
+This program is exceedingly fragile; thanks to it's reliance on GnuPG.
+
+On gpg-2.2.x and on gpg-2.4.x --with-colons flag on a file has differing outputs, 2.2.x omitting signature records but 2.4.x not omitting signature records.
+
+To show the signature records for 2.2.x gpg, one must import the key then run 'gpg --with-colons --list-sigs john@domain'.
+On 2.4.x, --with-colons will show them without having to import the key.
+
+Due to this, I've opted to always import key, plug that output to a bunch of regexs, then delete them.  Meaning, if you upload your own key while the program is running as your user, it will delete your own key.
