Description Joe Wells 2005-05-29 13:02:45 UTC

Since last November, OpenSSH has had the ability to build sftp with libedit
support, to allow command history and command line editing.  libedit is already
in portage.  Hence, it would be nice if the openssh ebuild gave the option to
use libedit.  This is accomplished by supplying the --with-libedit option to
configure.

Reproducible: Always
