[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

this patch updates Guile-SSH to 0.16.2.

[0001-gnu-guile-ssh-Update-to-0.16.2.patch (text/x-diff, attachment)]

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Changelog for this version:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Changes in version 0.16.2 (2023-01-02)
** Bugfix in test "string->public-key, ECDSA"
The test used to explicitly compare libssh version with "9" so it would always
fail on platforms with libssh 0.10.  Now the test does numerical comparison
and uses "ecdsa-p256" on platforms that have libssh 0.9 or later version.

Reported by Vagrant Cascadian, here:
<https://github.com/artyom-poptsov/guile-ssh/issues/34>

* Changes in version 0.16.1 (2022-12-31)
** Disable the tests that require DSA algorithm by default
When DSA support is disabled in libssh (which is the default state since
libssh 0.10) all DSA-related Guile-SSH procedures will fail.  Now Guile-SSH
disables by default all the tests that are require the DSA algorithm support
by default.

Although those changes do not affect the Guile-SSH API directly, users should
be aware that DSA support will be removed altogether in the next major libssh
release.

Reported by Vagrant Cascadian, here:
<https://github.com/artyom-poptsov/guile-ssh/issues/34>
** Add '--enable-dsa' Autoconf option
'configure.ac' now has '--enable-dsa' option that allows to enable DSA public
key algorithm support in Guile-SSH.
** (ssh version): 'dsa-support?': New procedure
** guix.scm: Use libssh 0.10.0
The development GNU Guix environment now uses libssh 0.10.0.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

As there's no '--enable-dsa' option passed to the Guile-SSH 'configure'
script, DSA-related tests are disabled; it means that libssh can be
upgraded to 0.10 without breaking Guile-SSH build.

I tested Guile-SSH with libssh 0.10 myself; here's the GNU Guix development
package recipe I used, for reference:

Thanks,
avp

Hello Artyom,

> this patch updates Guile-SSH to 0.16.2.

The package builds and the Guix test suite is passing, so let's go.

Thanks,

Mathieu
