It's in section net, not user/net as I can see. So it's not visible and installable from AM, right? I though that it was the initial goal - to have it installable right from AM, without installing xterm and becomeroot. Sorry if I misunderstood the point. Unfortunately I can't change bora repository anyway, so I decided to put my packages into bora extras. It's not the same package as in bora as you've probably seen. > > Why do we need two ssh packages (a client package and a server package)? I realise that some users may want just client or server functionality, but aren't these the minority - is there any real advantage having two packages rather than the single package we have had up until now? I thought we were discussing just a change of Section name rather than a fundamental splitting of the current package. > You're right, it's for users who wants just client functionality. Server depends on client anyway, so it's impossible to install just server. I think it's not bad at all to have them splitted, no? I can see at least one benefit - sshd will not be running all the time if I need only client. And, as I said, it's not the same package, the version and packaging are different. I'm going to create garage project to maintain it. -- Ed Bartosh <eduard.bartosh at nokia.com> Nokia-M/Helsinki
