I built a small user-installable package that depends on openssh: http://mg.pov.lt/770/dists/bora/user/binary-armel/openssh-installer_0.1-1_armel.deb (and http://mg.pov.lt/770/dists/mistral/user/binary-armel/openssh-installer_0.1-1_armel.deb) You don't need the red-pill mode to install it, and it will pull in ssh, but, but you need to have the maemo reporsitory configured. http://mg.pov.lt/770/maemo-repository.install There are downsides to my approach: * if you remove openssh-installer, the ssh package will most likely stay installed * it is impossible to write a single-click .install file for it, because it depends on packages from two different repositories. The best solution for OpenSSH would be to build a package (or, better yet, separate packages for openssh-client and openssh-server) with section user/something (user/tools?) and upload those into Maemo Extras. I don't have the energy to work on that :( Marius Gedminas -- Computo, ergo sum. -- Curt Suplee -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
