Is it possible to find somewhere Opennssh=>5.7 for Sailfish?
I want to be able to connect to my work and home PCs via my ECDSA keys.
I found this one but it's a .deb file:

Well, yes. It's possible. These are the steps I would take (using a linux system):

1. Use google and look for an rpm file.

2. If you can't find it, find the source and compile it yourself.

3. If that doesn't work, for whatever reason, look for a package or script that does deb-to-rpm conversion.

4. You could unpack the .deb file and manually move the over to your filesystem.

See how this fits your need
https://openrepos.net/content/nieldk/openssh-0

You will need to install as root (devel-su) and force the install to replace the sailfish version from Jolla

rpm -i --force openssh-6.4p1-3.armv7hl.rpm

Can you please file a bug in Mer, so they'd update openssh there?

nieldk | # 7 | 2014-02-09, 07:16 | Report

yeah, The thing is, its not a bug. Why there are like 99% of packages that needs update like that ... No idea why packages that are decades outdated.
Talk about security .....

I did :

rpm -i --force /mnt/sdcard/Downloads/openssh-6.5p1-1.armv7hl.rpm

but nothing seems to happen.

ssh -v still results in:

OpenSSH_5.6p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1c-fips 10 May 2012

Even after reboot

did you run as root ?

You mean, you got no response - output - from running rpm command at all ?

please post any output here
