Source: openssh Source-Version: 1:6.0p1-1 Severity: wishlist Hi!
OpenSSH contains an embedded BSD compat layer under openbsd-compat/, most of the stuff used by OpenSSH on GNU systems is now provided by libbsd (I've been adding stuff after checking users like OpenSSH). Before starting to work on a patch, which should mostly involve the build system, I was wondering if you'd be interested in it, given possible security implications? Regarding new dependencies, I don't think that'd be a problem as openssh-client uses libedit which in turn uses libbsd already. After a quick look on the latest version I can see that at least the following could be switched over to libbsd: bsd-arc4random.c bsd-closefrom.c bsd-getpeereid.c readpassphrase.c strlcat.c strlcpy.c getopt.c vis.c strmode.c strtonum.c sys-queue.h sys-tree.h And I'm always interested in adding new BSD compat stuff to libbsd, in case it's missing there. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
