Bug#89568: O: ssh-nonfree -- obsolete non-free SSH impementation



Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2001-03-14
Severity: normal

I don't see much point maintaining this any more, since OpenSSH now
provides both SSH1 & SSH2 and is Free Software.

If someone does feel the need to maintain this, they should probably
look at maintaining the ssh2 package as well, since the only remaining
point of this package might be to provide SSH1 support to supplement the
SSH2 support provided by the non-free ssh2 package.

On the whole, since ssh1 is no longer being actively maintained upstream,
and it's non-free, and ssh2 is even more non-free (to the extent that you
probably won't be able to maintain it unless you are at a site that
has bought a license) I'd like to see both packages withdrawn.

Cheers, Phil.
