Yeah for instance remmina (remote desktop client for Gnome) -- I don't run Gnome and don't want to, and testing that would presumably require running 2 instances of Gnome and then using remmina between them. And as Gnome requires 3D to work (last I looked) that limits virtualizing instances of it. Bleh. But I also understand the concern -- popcon shows there are 36000 users of libssh, so it's important not to break it. > I think it would be a good first step to bring a new version to git and > then upload it to experimental.

I think have a package that could be imported into a (local) git repo after some minor modifications: a debian version # change to remove the +0cdu0 tag, and the top two debian/changelog entries would need to be merged because I packaged 0.6.5 before 0.7.2. I'm using the following 0.7.2 package and it's been working fine for me so far. http://debian-packages.coredump.us/debian/pool/main/libs/libssh/ The debian/copyright file for the package needs updating/fixing, and there are two other lintian warnings shown for the current package in Debian that hopefully wouldn't be hard to fix: libssh-doc W embedded-javascript-library usr/share/doc/libssh-doc/html/jquery.js please use libjs-jquery libssh-gcrypt-4 W dev-pkg-without-shlib-symlink usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssh-gcrypt.so.4.4.1 usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssh-gcrypt.so usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssh-gcrypt_threads.so.4.4.1 usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssh-gcrypt_threads.so I wouldn't mind helping to try to fix these. I'd likely poke at the debian/copyright file first since that's the source of the most lintian warnings. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us
