OK folks, since the tarball is smaller than a long crash log, and because it's a security issue, I'll send out the openssh tarball (.info and .patch files) (flame me offline if you don't want it)--the openssl one went out (onlist) because I was trying to do two things at once.

There has been talk of finding a university host or some such, but I've not heard anything else on -devel about it.

Look at it this way, though: Apple still hasn't put out anything on Software Update for the builtin openssh.

Alexander,

Actually, I was quite glad to see you post the files, until I discovered they were for openssl, and not openssh.

I too have been hoping to have openssh 3.7.1p1-2 show up in a fink selfupdate-cvs, as I noted the web site showed this version in unstable several days ago. But it appears that the problems with SourceForge are so severe that Fink updates are now a waste of time, as I have not received any new versions of anything for several days.

SourceForge keeps saying that they have a plan to improve the situation, but it never seems to happen. I hope Max is working on a way to divorce Fink from SourceForge, because it has become pretty much impossible for an anonymous user to get any new .info files with a fink selfupdate-cvs. I used to be comfortable knowing that Fink would provide me with timely updates to critical software such as openssh. I know the developers have done their bit by updating the package, but it is a wasted effort if the users cannot access them.

Don't take this the wrong way - I am very appreciative of the efforts that have gone into Fink. I am just frustrated to see it being dragged down by SourceForge's problems.
