Summary

Proposed commit message:

The block of code that canonicallizes the hostname supplied on
the command line added by patch-ssh.c misapplies to 7.7p1 and
moves from main() to to ssh_session2(). This breaks ssh SSHFP
support for non-canonical hostnames. For example, "ssh zinc"
correctly discovers the FQDN (zinc.ee.lbl.gov) and uses it to
look up A and AAAA records but the non-canonical version (zinc)
is used in the SSHFP record lookup which or course fails.

Regenerate the patch.

Event Timeline

Looks good but could you add the header back in from the des commit please? It lets me know I took it from the base patches. Anything above the --- ssh.c.orig line is ignored.

Also you need to bump PORTREVISION too

This revision now requires changes to proceed.Apr 12 2018, 8:34 PM

Restore comment/header to patch-ssh.c and Bump PORTREVISION (oops).

Thank you!
Approved by me but I think you'll need mentor approval still.
