I went to go use it today since I'll be putting together some packages for a national project and I found them in pretty *BAD* shape. By tonight, I should have some partial patches to resolve a lot of the issues, but I really feel we need to either need to fix it, remove it, or replace it with a better version. It's old enought to lakc RSA v2 key generation, lack of slogin, sftp, sftp-server, ssh-keyscan, and some rather nasty hardcoded /usr/local checks (which is great if you install in /usr/local, but it does not help those of us doing packages to /opt =). Any takers? I plan on merging the useful bits from my work today into the CVS tree tomorrow, but it would be nice if it could be a bit more streamlined in how it's generates the prototype file. - Ben
Howdy, I have some stuff that I've been waiting to contribute. It initially started as a new ssh initscript for Solaris (which I sent to Rip Loomis), but has evolved into my own (and very different) build system that I've been using to roll out OpenSSH, and its worked out quite nicely (for me, at least). Its got a lot of crap and features that you may not want (including a patch I submitted a long time ago to recognize rlogin/slogin better, that never got committed). This build system is meant to be entirely standalone. It actually goes and fetches all the software it needs, builds it in a pseudo-sandbox, and puts everything together. I'm not promising a magic-bullet here, or perfect code, but I thought I would throw it out for people to poke at and see what they think. Questions? Comments? Concerns? -Irving Popovetsky On Wed, May 02, 2001 at 01:43:47PM -0500, mouring at etoh.eviladmin.org wrote:> > I went to go use it today since I'll be putting together some packages for > a national project and I found them in pretty *BAD* shape. > > By tonight, I should have some partial patches to resolve a lot of the > issues, but I really feel we need to either need to fix it, remove it, or > replace it with a better version. > > It's old enought to lakc RSA v2 key generation, lack of slogin, sftp, > sftp-server, ssh-keyscan, and some rather nasty hardcoded /usr/local > checks (which is great if you install in /usr/local, but it does not > help those of us doing packages to /opt =). > > > Any takers?

Ben-- I'm the originator of the packaging scripts, although I've been doing a lousy job of maintaining them. I've just re-surfaced at work after teaching a class for the last week (plus two-week-old baby at home, plus other excuses) and I'm trying to catch up. I've got 80% of the necessary fixes done on my test system here, against 2.5.2p1. I can either send those to you or you can send me your changes. (I'm not sure whether my fixes are complete for the "packages installed in /opt" case...) I didn't want to write a script to generate the prototype file on the fly when I was "scratching" my original itch, but that would probably be appropriate--or even required in order to do what you need for /opt. Let me know how you'd like to proceed--thanks.
