RE: Re: [VFS] OPENSSH private key format support

[Ravishankar Joshi <ra...@uber.com.INVALID>]

Hi Gary and Konrad,

I am a new user of VFS (version 2.9.0) and new to open source mailing lists.
I am writing to inquire about the progress on the jsch upgrade/migration.
Do we have any plans of migrating to jsch fork or Apache Mina?
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Thanks,
Ravishankar Joshi

Hello Ravishankar.

I would like us to migrate to Mina as well, the tracking ticket is
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/VFS/issues/VFS-838

I like option 3, more specifically:

Create a new Maven module commons-vfs2-ssh-jsch and move the current
code there, same package, all code is deprecated.
Create a new Maven module commons-vfs2-ssh-mina and make this the
default (via our configuration file)

Feel free to discuss here if you see a better approach.

TY,
Gary
