= System Wide Change:Switch libcurl to use libssh instead of libssh2 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/libssh-in-libcurl Change owner(s): * Kamil Dudka <kdudka AT redhat DOT com> libcurl currently uses libssh2 to implement the SSH layer of SCP and SFTP protocols. After implementing this change, libcurl will use the libssh library instead. == Detailed Description == libcurl currently uses libssh2 to implement the SSH layer of SCP and SFTP protocols. The libssh2 library uses outdated crypto algorithms and lacks important features like GSS-API authentication. After implementing this change, libcurl will use the libssh library instead, which is now more secure, feature-complete, and with more active upstream community. == Scope == * Proposal owners: kdudka (will switch the SSH library in the curl package once it is supported upstream) * Other developers: nmav (currently working on the related pull-request with curl upstream) * Release engineering: No action from release engineering is needed for this change (libcurl ABI is kept), releng review requested at https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7193 * Policies and guidelines: unaffected * Trademark approval: not needed -- Jan Kuřík Platform & Fedora Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
