Re: [cobalt-security] Re: [cobalt-users] Raq2 - OpenSSH 3.7.1.p2 compile FIX

Well.. i conside the raq2 and older mips boxes educational boxes now and
shouldn't be on the net.... hec they are about the speed of an intell
P133...  and that is why I will be releasing some rpms...  I think this is a
perfect example of a first step to understand how things build...

The SRPMS are the same thing as the source tarball except many people have
looked at how to build the "software" and written down exactly how to make
it ... we call it the spec file...  so the only diffrence between a srpm and
a tarball is the tarball has no plan for building on a given system (in most
cases) ... However most of the time they have a basic INSTALL method which
is where the ./configure make make test make install make mess comes from...
the problem is that everybody reads the commands and not the rest of it...
much less looking at the code...

the source tarball used is found at
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/

SRPMS can be found at
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/rpm/SRPMS/

these SRPMS specs need to be downgraded to our version of rpm...  Like
everything we build for mips.... :(
