Hi all, Our openssh-portable port hasn't been updated to 5.9p1, so I took advantage of a free evening to see if I could update it. Unfortunately Simon Wilkinson's GSSAPI patch no longer applies, as it hasn't been updated since OpenSSH 5.8. It has been superceeded by the NCSA illinois.edu GSI patch, which not only include the Wilkinson's GSSAPI Patch but also the HPN patch, among others. Unfortunately this patch also conflicts with some of our own FreeBSD patches in the port. What I propose to do is remove the GSSAPI patch from security/openssh-portable and for those who need the GSSAPI server key exchange, create a new port (through a repocopy of course) which includes the illinois.edu GSI patch with reworked FreeBSD patches resolving patch conflicts, calling it security/openssh-portable-gsi. Does this make any sense to anyone? Or, instead of the above, just include the GSI patch by default in a one-size-fits-all openssh-portable port? (Meaning that the GSI patch is applied regardless.) Does this make more sense to people? -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@komquats.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org
