I think rebuilding and runtime testing /every/ application using libssh is a burden nobody wants -- I don't think that's a realistic expectation. I use libssh via kio-extras -- sftp connections from KDE file manager applications. I've runtime tested the libssh 0.7.2 package I've put together that way. Building kio-extras with it requires > 500 build dependencies, but thankfully only takes 8 min to build. Result works fine. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us
