Hi Dan, this is a pretty interesting idea, thanks for bringing it up. The best course of action would be to propose this as a package in Debian, and sign up to maintain it. This is a lot of delta from upstream that I don't think we'd want to carry in Ubuntu's main OpenSSH package, so it would need to be a forked package.
I suggest Debian, because there's no real reason this should only live in Ubuntu when some Debian users would benefit from it, and also would be able to help with the maintenance of it. So, my recommendation would be to file a WNPP bug in Debian: http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ And then come back here and do an "Also Affects Distribution" with a link to that bug. As it stands, I think this is most appropriately expressed in Ubuntu as a needs-packaging bug. ** Package changed: openssh (Ubuntu) => ubuntu ** Changed in: ubuntu Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: needs-packaging ** Summary changed: - native support for X.509 v3 certificates in openssh + [needs-packaging] openssh-x509 - native support for X.509 v3 certificates in openssh -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/893735 Title: [needs-packaging] openssh-x509 - native support for X.509 v3 certificates in openssh To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/893735/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
