It's basically a slight update of Johannes' patch so that current OpenSSH and GNU lsh may both be used flawlessly (I didn't check about the other implementations that it's supposed to support, namely `fsecure' and `psftp').
Wonderful! All this makes it possible to specify at run-time which SSH implementation to use using the `TLA_SSH_TYPE' and `TLA_SSH_BINARY' environment variables. Example: One small comment, make the variable names a bit more generic and descriptive and preferbly use an existing name. For example, TLA_SSH_BINARY is bad since another GNU Arch implementation could implement such a feature. Adding _BINARY is redundant too. I'd prefer something like: RSH RSH_TYPE Since you could in theory end up using plain old remote shell, or a variant of it that encrypts the traffic or anything inbetween. I'm also skeptical over the RSH_TYPE thing too, cannot this be specified in some other way? By only using the RSH variable? Not even sure what that variable does... Wonderful patch though, I prefer using lsh over ssh so I'll enjoy this one. :-) _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
