Bug 941255 – net-misc/openssh-9.8: optionally support DSA keys

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Patrice Levesque 2024-10-11 01:04:22 UTC]

Add dsa-keys USE flag.

As of OpenSSH 9.8, DSA keys support is enabled via an optional compile flag.

Even though DSA keys are being phased out and are expected to be completely removed from OpenSSH in early 2025, some people still connect to old servers.

It's only a matter of adding `--enable-dsa-keys` to `configure`, as described in https://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html

Attaching a trivial patch to current `=net-libs/openssh-9.8_p1-r2` that adds a `dsa-keys` use flag.

Yeah, I was planning on doing this before and didn't end up forgetting. I think it's reasonable.

    net-misc/openssh: add 9.9_p1
    
    * Add a patch from master for slow X forwarding (bug #929191) with
      the default-on ObscureKeystrokeTiming feature.
    
    * Pull in various patches from upstream's stable branch (V_9_9) and
      add a note to the ebuild about checking it, see
      https://marc.info/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=172723798122122&w=2.
    
    * Add USE=legacy-ciphers (bug #941255) to support DSA keys. I'll probably
      backport this to 9.8 too.
