Re: [tbox-l] Can you speed up release openssh binary for AIX on sourceforge?

[Reza A. <ar...@au...>]

Hi Edward,

OpenSSL is no longer part of the Toolbox.  Starting in AIX 6.1, it has moved
to the Expansion Pack media that comes with the base AIX distribution.

This is good news for several reasons.

1. It has been updated to 0.9.8d.

2. It is packaged in the native AIX installp format, which in turn makes it
   easier for people to install OpenSSH.  Previously we had an awkward
   situation where OpenSSH (an installp package) depended on OpenSSL (an RPM).
   Now you can do everything in one shot, and from the same CD.

3. It is supported!  You can open PMRs, get APARs, etc.  No more apologetic
   "lawyers have my hands tied" emails from me on this mailing list any more!
   Well, not for OpenSSL at least.

I suspect it will be made available here soon:
<https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/reg/pick.do?source=aixbp>,
but again, for more information about that or the timetable for OpenSSH 4.7,
you can now contact official IBM AIX support.  Those questions can't be
answered here because I don't build them any more.
