Hi, I'm not sure if my mail made it to the list, a SPAM bot might have discarded it automatically due to the attachment or something like this. So in any case I forward it, adding a link to the patch archive stored on my website:
http://cptsalek.de/packages/openssh-patches-20151016.tgz HAND, Christian Walther ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Christian Walther <cptsa...@gmail.com> Date: 2015-10-16 21:30 GMT+02:00 Subject: Patches for current OpenSSH To: gcc@gccsdk.riscos.info Hello folks, please find attached a tarball containing patches to build !SSH from current Debian sources. Current status (Working): - Basic !SSH.ssh works, including local and remote port forwarding. - Keys, configuration files and known_hosts are stored in <Choices$Dir>.ssh - ssh-keygen and ssh-keyscan work, including creation of new keys, setting up, removing and updating passphrases on new and existing keys. - Yyou can connect to remote machines w/o entering a password, given that you placed your public key in the right location on the remote machine. - SSH will ask for your passphrase when using encrypted keys - Configuration file <Choices$Dir>.ssh.config allows for configurations as described in man ssh_config TBD / Not working: - ssh-agent, ssh-add and related functionality in ssh, since RISC OS doens't support Unix Domain Sockets. This is currently my top priority. - The build process makes use of macros with values being set to path names, such as <SSH$Dir>. These are messed up because $D is handled as a empty variable, thus $D being removed. - scp and sftp, because they both use syscalls such as daemon(), fork(), pipe(), launching ssh as a child to handle data transfer. This seems to be something bigger. Both need support for InternetModule for proper Filetype handling, too. General ideas: I thought about turning ssh-agent into a proper RISC OS program with its own GUI, making it the center point for SSH key handling. Allow keys to be dragged to it, allowing them to be removed from inside WIMP, lock / unlock individual keys or all, etc. Since my second child is about to be born I'm not sure how much time I can put into further development of OpenSSH patches (although I will try to do so). Besides I've some other interests to spend my time on, astronomy and photography being two of them. Originally I started with patching OpenSSH in July, right after this years meeting of the German Archimedes Group. Hope to see the patches on the official build servers and gccsdk repo, any feedback and help is highly appreciated.
