Am looking to upgrade my "open-ssh" to 4.7 and am hoping it's already in the 11.x tree -- I have a patch for high-speed ssh, that applies
If you do so, you need to recompile openSSH, and possible other components, I strongly suggest you not to do that, messing with applications that contains crypto code can become **very** tricky.
At SUSE, people avoid doing such things, for very good reasons, even those who have extensive knowledge in the area.
You have been warned ;-P
Did you not understand what I was trying to do? Or, I guess I don't understand why you are trying to warn me away from doing what is done in the linux open-source world all the time. I said I was downloading a *source* package, so it's seems like knowing that one has to build from source is a given -- yet you warn about the need to 'recompile' openssh? That's a bit confusing. I also mentioned that I had a patch (standard linux patch composed of the output of "diff -u") that I needed to apply to a version, *higher* than the one included in 10.3. The patch for High performance scp/ssh is from: "http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/". Did you not understand? I.e. -- you seemed to be warning me away from rebuilding openssh -- which I would think would be required for any patch to be applied. Am I missing something or was I unclear about what I was trying to do? Am not sure why you would be pushing customers away from building their own versions of packages that they need for their systems. Isn't that one of the main 'selling points' of Open Source? If you could explain your concerns (or were you trying to be humorous and I missed the ":-)" ), as your concerns seem confusing for someone working at an open-source distribution company (I wouldn't find it so surprising coming from someone a closed or proprietary software company like microsoft, but SuSE ain't them...:-)).
