I think you're right. `patch-12' in my branch removes
auto-detection magic. It also renames the `TLA_SSH_' vars to
`ARCH_SSH_' (I think `_SSH' is better suited than `_SFTP' because
we are really talking about implementations of the SSH protocol).
Great! Thank you. Though, I still think ARCH_SSH is better than
ARCH_SSH_BINARY. :-)
Now, we should try to detect which implementation is available at
*compile-time*, and/or add a `configure' option, and default to
that implementation.
Is there a specific need for having a default?
I would be a bit cautios about adding such DWIM functionality here,
lsh on Debian is not GNU lsh, but a shell, and you'd need to add lots
of special cases for each and every secure shell type you wish to
support. I think that simply hardcoding to a known working
implementation it is the simplest.
So someone will have to find it out, and make sure this variable
contains one of the strings that are valid `ARCH_SSH_TYPE' values,
and *not* just the binary name (which seems to be the case now).
The `cfg__ssh_is_lsh' variable can be removed. We might also want
to add a `cfg__ssh_binary' variable containing the path of the
binary. Any `package-framework' wizard out there? :-)
I could tell you, but it would require me to perform lobotomy on my
own brain. We need to switch the whole package-framework mess to the
GNU build system... And no, I'm not voluenteering, I'm only bitching
about it. :-)
