What I'd really like to see is a way to have DES code available for
things like front page (yeah, yeah... I know) and other things that just
have to have it but not have anything in the base system use it unless I
tell it to. This might not be possible of course, but if I can't have
that then I'd definitely like to be able to to use the openssl and
openssh stuff without being forced to have DES.
Meanwhile, it seems that to get all the new bits we have to have
cvs-crypto in the cvsup file, yes? And if we do that currently (before
your patch) we will end up installing DES, right?
Trying to understand,
Doug
