OpenSSH: Portable Release

OpenSSHPortable Release

Normal OpenSSH development produces a very small, secure, and easy tomaintain version for the OpenBSD project.The OpenSSH Portability Teamtakes that pure version and adds portability code so that OpenSSH canrun on many other operating systems (Unfortunately, in particularsince OpenSSH does authentication, it runs into a *lot*of differences between Unix operating systems).

The OpenSSH provided here is designed to run on the following Unixoperating systems:

• AIX
• HP-UX
• Irix
• Linux
• NeXT
• SCO
• SNI/Reliant Unix
• Solaris
• Digital Unix/Tru64/OSF
• Mac OS X
• Cygwin
• ... and more are being added all the time.

The portable OpenSSH follows development of the official version, butreleases are not synchronized. Portable releases are marked with a 'p'(e.g. 4.0p1). The official OpenBSD source will never use the 'p' suffix,but will instead increment the version number when they hit 'stablespots' in their development.

The following files describe the development efforts of the OpenSSHportability development team. The release files are signed with the PGPpublic key contained in the file RELEASE_KEY.asc on the ftp site. This key is also available through thekey server network.

Developers

Bleeding-edge nightly snapshots are availablehere.Portable OpenSSH's source tree is also available by git:

• git://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git (clone only)
• https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git (web and clone)

This repository is provided and maintainedby Damien Miller. It is also mirrored atGithub.

Building

Once checked out, the configure file needs to be created byrunning autoreconf from the autoconf package(the required version is listed in the INSTALL file). It will also need tobe run again if any changes are made to the configure.ac file.

Developers are asked to read and followthese guidelineswhen submitting code. Patches should be sent in unified diff format.
