Re: [ANN] Guile-SSH 0.7.0 released

[Artyom Poptsov <poptsov.artyom@gmail.com>]

Hi Ludovic.

My patch was accepted [1], so one of the libssh errors should be
eliminated.

It would be great if you could test 6c1706a from the Guile-SSH `master'
branch with a033b93 from libssh `v0-6' branch compiled w/ GCrypt and
send me the logs again  :-)

Signed Guile-SSH distcheck package for 6c1706a can be found here:
  - ftp://memory-heap.org/software/guile-ssh/guile-ssh-0.7.0-6c1706a.tar.gz
  - ftp://memory-heap.org/software/guile-ssh/guile-ssh-0.7.0-6c1706a.tar.gz.sig

Also, "Features" section from the main page of libssh site [2] says the
following:

  Elliptic Curve DSA (ECDSA) support (with OpenSSL)

In other words, the current libssh stable version (0.6.3) supports ECDSA
only by means of OpenSSL library.  That's the reason why Guile-SSH 0.7.0
does not work with ECDSA keys (and fails `tests/key.scm') when libssh is
compiled with GCrypt.

From the Guile-SSH perspective probably the easiest way to solve the
problem is to add an Autoconf check that will somehow determine the
library which libssh compiled with and will disable ECDSA part of the
Guile-SSH.

Thanks,

- Artyom
