Apr 04 16:10:32 <sunshavi>  Hi. There. I am the only one having issues with openssh greater than 8.7 servers
Apr 04 16:12:06 <bencoh> I haven't tried / experienced it yet, but I suppose you're referring to openssh removing support for some key types and/or cyphers?
Apr 04 16:13:28 <bencoh> https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.7
Apr 04 16:15:01 <sunshavi> right
Apr 04 16:15:06 <sunshavi> that's my issue
Apr 04 16:15:23 <sunshavi> the alternatives could be
Apr 04 16:16:00 <sunshavi> "Recommended modes are rsa-sha2-256/512 (supported since OpenSSH 7.2), ssh-ed25519 (supported since OpenSSH 6.5) or ecdsa-sha2-nistp256/384/521
Apr 04 16:16:01 <sunshavi> (supported since OpenSSH 5.7), the OpenSSH team said"
Apr 04 16:16:19 <bencoh> the openssh packages are shipped through extras, so we could/should probably build and upload a more recent version
Apr 04 16:16:30 <bencoh> extras has 5.1 for now
Apr 04 16:17:31 <sunshavi> that's the idea. Probably I should try and see if 7.2 could be compiled {praying for a simple compilation}
Apr 04 16:17:37 <bencoh> :)
Apr 04 16:18:18 <bencoh> the good news is there is a git repository https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable
Apr 04 16:18:25 <bencoh> no need to fight with cvs anymore
Apr 04 16:19:14 <sunshavi> Yes. that the other part of the equation. I just use debian within maemo. 
Apr 04 16:19:33 <bencoh> which debian release?
Apr 04 16:19:45 <sunshavi> the one bundle with freemantle
Apr 04 16:19:50 <bencoh> ah
Apr 04 16:19:53 <sunshavi> I have the version on my notes
Apr 04 16:20:03 <bencoh> meaning it's as old as fremantle
Apr 04 16:20:14 <sunshavi> just it is fremantle itself
Apr 04 16:20:24 <sunshavi> s/just/Yes/
Apr 04 16:20:52 <sunshavi> I just need to undust my apt-fu
Apr 04 16:21:46 <bencoh> :)
Apr 04 16:22:53 <bencoh> ./configure: line 5763: syntax error near unexpected token `-pipe'
Apr 04 16:23:05 <bencoh> that's from scratchbox ...
Apr 04 16:23:30 <bencoh> looks like autoreconf messed up somehow
Apr 04 16:23:33 <sunshavi> You have quick access to it
Apr 04 16:23:49 <bencoh> I have a scratchbox VM running somewhere
Apr 04 16:24:10 <sunshavi> I need to pick-up the hdd having the chroot first, searching for my SBC. booting the SBC with the hdd. and start working on the chroot
Apr 04 16:24:44 <bencoh> alright, running autoreconf from the host might give better results, lemme see
Apr 04 16:25:03 <bencoh> maybe not, hmm
Apr 04 16:25:31 <sunshavi>  You are trying to compile openssh-portable?
Apr 04 16:25:34 <bencoh> yeah
Apr 04 16:26:13 <sunshavi> Let's see How it goes on my side. I am going to do all the steps I listed above
Apr 04 17:20:04 <sunshavi_>  I am inside the chroot
Apr 04 17:30:33 <sunshavi_> minor issue my chroot does not have ping
Apr 04 17:30:52 <sunshavi_> i need to download and scp to chroot
Apr 04 17:33:30 <bencoh> why do you need ping though?
Apr 04 17:47:19 <sunshavi_> download from the web
Apr 04 17:48:33 <sunshavi_> this package has 3 parts
Apr 04 17:48:43 <sunshavi_> server, common and client
Apr 04 17:48:56 <sunshavi_> i think it has an special debian/rules file
Apr 04 18:00:13 <sunshavi_> bencoh: could You share me ur complete folder. for trying your compilation here
Apr 04 18:00:29 <bencoh> complete folder?
Apr 04 18:00:45 <bencoh> I use scratchbox, it's more complex than that
Apr 04 18:01:27 <sunshavi_> You did just git clone? and configure
Apr 04 18:01:39 <bencoh> and autoreconf. it failed btw
Apr 04 18:02:17 <sunshavi_> I got this on git clone
Apr 04 18:02:39 <sunshavi_> "fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/': error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version""
Apr 04 18:03:03 <sunshavi_> I am going to clone on the host. and scp to chroot then
Apr 04 18:05:10 <bencoh> right, you need to clone from the host
Apr 04 18:09:17 <bencoh> hmm ... apparently openssh relies on openssl for some stuff
Apr 04 18:09:39 <bencoh> sounds like this is gonna be a mess
Apr 04 18:13:13 <sunshavi_>  'autoreconf -fiv'?
Apr 04 18:14:53 <sunshavi_> running configure
Apr 04 18:15:55 <sunshavi_> same error as You
Apr 04 18:17:04 <sunshavi_> perhaps I should try to compile 5.1 first as it is. and then I should try to move to 5.7
Apr 04 18:18:35 <sunshavi_>  I am going to compile 5.1 as it is
Apr 04 18:23:40 <bencoh> 5.1 should be easy
Apr 04 18:24:22 <bencoh> oh right you said 5.7 supports ecdsa-sha2
Apr 04 18:24:39 <bencoh> but I think that one is disabled on many servers
Apr 04 18:27:57 <sunshavi_> mmmm
Apr 04 18:28:11 <sunshavi_> Besides that I think 7.2 is very ambitious
Apr 04 18:28:34 <sunshavi_> But perhaps after 5.7 we could move a little bit slowly until 7.2
Apr 04 18:29:05 <sunshavi_> 5.7 -> 6.5 -> 7.2
Apr 04 18:29:35 <sunshavi_> that way We are not going to face a lot of issues at the same time
Apr 04 18:32:19 <sunshavi_> "dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: syntax error in debian/control at line 106: duplicate field Xb-Maemo-Icon-26 found"
Apr 04 18:33:56 <sunshavi_> compilation of 5.1 started
Apr 04 18:34:51 <sunshavi_> I am going to be away from the keyboard. I woul let You know when 5.1 compilation ends
Apr 04 18:39:28 <sunshavi_> 5.1 ended . It was quick
Apr 04 18:41:06 <sunshavi_> I need to commute in less than an hour. At night I am going to try 5.7.
Apr 04 18:41:22 <sunshavi_> talk to You later
