openssh-5.3p1-hpn13v6.diff.gz is not available from any of the mirrors

[ksze (Kal Sze)]

The Portfile for openssh has been updated to reflect the latest version 5.3. However, the patch for the hpn variant is not available from any of the mirrors, so upgrading an existing installation of the hpn variant would fail.

I forgot to indicate the affected port, sorry. Obviously, the affected port is openssh. It would be nice if Trac would have validated my submission and pointed out that I had not indicated a port.

There simply is no HPN patch for 5.3p1 yet. Once there is one, note that the first checksums in the Portfile will need to specify ${distfiles} once again, or the hpn variant will cause different breakage.

Replying to jmr@…:

There simply is no HPN patch for 5.3p1 yet.

This happened before, and it will happen again. It isn't a good reason to ship a broken variant. The maintainer could use ​Gentoo's patch, create an openssh-hpn port, wait to update the openssh port, or drop the hpn variant.

This variant is borked in other ways too.

Here's the diff for the Portfile to build with the hpn patch taken directly from Gentoo. Sub-optimal, yes - but "It Works"(tm), for now.

Cc reporter of dup #22633.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Disabled the broken variant in r60751.

They released a patch for 5.3p1. The only problem is that it hangs if a client is forked with -f (how common is that?) ​http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/

Sorry for the late update, openssh is at 5.5p1 and the corresponding hpn patch is available, too (marking is as wontfix, because the referred version is old)
