Package: gitolite
Version: 2.3-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I was attempting to use gitolite with an ecdsa based key and got an error
when gl-setup ran sshkeys-lint. This is because it's using a regular
expression which only knows about dsa and rsa keys. I've attached a patch
which will also understand elliptic curve keys.
