Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Net-SSH-Perl to 2.14 in F-28 and Rawhide:

    • This is a significant refactoring of the code to use CryptX for most of the low-level cryptographic functionality, replacing a raft of old, un-maintained dependencies

    • A lot of additional functionality matching OpenSSH has been added, but much of the elliptical curve cipher support has been removed in packaging because the perl-CryptX package in Fedora does not support it

    • The module is no longer pure-Perl, with XS code added for Chacha20, BSD Blowfish, and Ed25519 routines
