It appears that RedHat is moving very slow on getting beyond the sophistication of a mailing list for managing RFEs and bugs (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=83109), therefore, I suggest to (temporarily) host this here. I am aware that this is not leading edge for the core of openssh, but since this is a potentially important user community, I suggest this is hosted here until a better place is found. This way, there would be an appropriate state-of-the-art bug-tracker for bugs like http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500 (how to start-up ssh-agent by default), http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498 (cygwin's default id file location configuration), http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506 (extend ssh-agent approach also to file/mail encryption), etc.
No. Way. Please don't "volunteer" this bug tracking system for any more that it is already doing. This isn't the place for distribution specific bugs at all.
Note that Red Hat has nothing to do with the OpenSSH port to Cygwin. It's entirely a volunteering effort from my side. There's no official Red Hat support for Cygwin, except if you contracted Red Hat to do so. Cygwin is not Red Hat Linux and there's no official "Red Hat Cygwin" package. If you want help with Cygwin issues, the project mailing list cygwin@cygwin.com is the right place.
Corinna, Thanks for this great volunteering achievement. Mailing lists are just soooo noisy (low signal-to-noise ratio) compared to a bugzilla where you only hear about the bugs you care. As we are talking volunteering anyway: I have setup my own little bugzilla under http://bugzilla.privasphere.com/index.cgi a while ago and put a mycygwin category in there. I am happy to create a component "openssh" with you as the component owner. Interested? Rgds Ralf
