well that was my idea: assuming that the dropbear author will release a new relaease when it's ready, I thought that it would be useful to indicate that gitolite package was not compatible with dropbear. Currently it asks for openssh-server OR ssh-server which is wrong since, as far as I know, but I might be wrong, only openssh-server implements the SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND for now. > This has to get fixed in dropbear, thus reassigning the bugreport > there. clearly, this is dropbear issue, but until it is fixed by an upstream release or by the dropbear package maintainer, packaging gitolite with ssh-server requirement seems wrong to me: I spent 3 hours trying to understand why things could not work despite a very simple configuration. Compatibilty with dropbear was the reason why I choose gitolite instead of gitosis. I had to dig into the gitolite gl-auth-command script to understand what was the problem.
