Hi all, Robey has just released Paramiko 1.7.6 which includes (among other changes) the fix for our SSHException problem.
We shall see...
I haven't tested it yet myself, but plan to once I get back into things (still stuck in bed/on drugs, and trying to keep typing to a minimum. heh.)
Hope you're feeling better!
but I mostly wanted to get this out there so anyone who has the time/inclination, can grab a copy and see if it introduces any new problems. Since the current 0.9 codebase has 1.7.4 included in it, I think the process needs to be: 1. install Fab 0.9rc1 or later, if you haven't already 2. install Paramiko ==1.7.6 via easy_install/pip (which should override/upgrade the vendorized 1.7.4. I think.) 3. Double-check the assumption in #2 by doing "import paramiko ; print(paramiko.__version__)" 4. Run some fab tasks, or the test suite if you have the deps installed, and see how things work. Given the realities of this stuff (i.e. new code =~ new bugs) I do not realistically expect to revert the vendorization at this time; I'll probably wait until 0.9.1 or 1.0. But I'll need your help in testing the new Paramiko regardless :)
Jeff, I'll give this a whirl, probably tonight when I get a few minutes. I'll diff the Paramiko revs to see if they changed a lot; no idea.
In any case, I think your abundance of caution is well warranted and I wouldn't be in a big hurry to undo the way we had to do it by including the whole thing in the Fabric build.
It took a very long time, and lots of non-progress on the Paramiko side, to have to finally come to that very sub-optimal arrangement. I wouldn't be in a big hurry to trust the "new improved!" version, regardless.
