It's my understanding that we already have a better and cleaner way of handling international versus US crypto issues with OpenSSH than they do, thanks to the stubs that were put into place in the libraries. Given this, and given the level of tight integration we have elsewhere with those things that we have taken the somewhat unusual step of integrating into FreeBSD, I don't take their inclusion of Perl 5.6.0 to be a necessary and sufficient condition for us to do the same. Just because someone else jumped off a bridge and has survived (so far), does this necessarily mean it's a good idea for us to try to follow suit at this stage? -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
