Hi,

I’d rather wait; perhaps you can ask Artyom whether they’re planning for
a new release soonish?

If there’s no plan for a release within two weeks, we can go ahead with
the patch you propose.

If we take this route, the two patches (guile-ssh changes, then (guix
ssh) changes) should be separate.

Also #:nodelay will cause a hard failure for people using an older
Guile-SSH.  I wonder how to guard against that; configure check, or
run-time Guile-SSH version check?

It would be good to include the URL of the upstream issue

Thanks!

Ludo’.
