My guess is that when he said "help someone to actually fix your problem", his desire was to fix it so people would NOT have a problem updating. From the activity on the current list, it's clear that he has been putting in a lot of hours trying to fix all the various odds and ends which broke when this went in. (and yes, there have been a lot of loose ends, but people have definitely been working on them). This must have been the most discussed topic on the current mailing list for the past two weeks, and I (for one) appreciate all the work people have been doing to get openssh as part of the base system. It's been a bit bumpy, but it is (IMO) a worthwhile addition for 4.0-release. I would have been happy to vote for openssh as part of the base system, even though that means a delay in 4.0-release. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
