Hi, I don't know if you are aware, but the author of the net-ssh and net-sftp packages has announced that he will no longer maintain them. See http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2009/2/25/net-ssh-capistrano-and-saying-goodbye
I'm facing a bug in net-sftp 2.0.2 (latest release) now (calling shutdown! on session even if one was not created due to exception). I would like to know if there are any thoughts about supporting these libraries in the context of BuildR. Ittay
