openssh unix dev - Oct 2005 - .spec file for SLES 9

Hello all,

I'm gearing up for an RPM deployment of 4.2p1 on SuSE (SLES 9). However, the
files
under contrib/suse in the OpenSSH distribution appear to be out-of-date. In 
particular, SuSE seems to handle init scripts quite differently now.

So, is anyone building local RPMs for SuSE? If so, could you post the .spec
file you are using? Is there any interest in updating the contrib/suse
section? I've done some initial work, but since I'm new to SuSE I defer
to
the experience of others.

Thanks

I rolled a spec file for work that seems to work for both suse and redhat
based systems.  You can pick the spec out of
<http://rc.vintela.com/topics/openssh/downloads/linux-i386/vintela-openssh-4.2p1vrc1.9.1-8.src.rpm>

The %post script in that (perhaps dubiously) decides what script to install
after looking around for LSB support. But, it seems to work pretty well.
(You'll probably want to ditch the earlier stuff in the spec since it's 
pretty specific for linking against our product.)

Cheers,
