Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Simon Josefsson <[email protected]>
There was a package 'lsh' in Debian but removed back in 2005:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/lsh
All those uploads are below the 2.1 version of GNU lsh that I intend to
package, so there would not ever be any version conflict between binary
packages, and no need to start with an epoch as far as I can see.
I am not certain it is permitted to re-use an earlier source package
name for a different package. Is that okay?
If there is a problem, I suggest 'gnu-lsh' as the source package name,
to avoid conflict. We could still use 'lsh' for the binaries because
that should be no problem; compare the recent 'git-merge-changelog'
introduction, which took over the binary name of another source package.
I think re-using the 'lsh' source name would be fine, since the earlier
package was removed 20+ years ago in Debian.
* Package name : lsh
Version : 2.1
Upstream Author : Niels Möller, et al
* URL : https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/lsh/
* License : GPL-2.0
Programming Lang: C
Description : A GNU implementation of the Secure Shell protocols
lsh is a free implementation (in the GNU sense) of the ssh version 2
protocol, standardised by the IETF SECSH working group.
Hope to package and maintain 'lsh' from here:
