[jira] [Created] (GUACAMOLE-945) Migrating away from libssh2 dependency?

Joonas Tuomisto created GUACAMOLE-945:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Migrating away from libssh2 dependency?
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-945
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-945
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: guacd
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
            Reporter: Joonas Tuomisto


It appears Red Hat / CentOS stopped shipping libssh2 in version 8 which makes building Guacamole a hassle on those platforms - of course, this has nothing to do with Guacamole as such, but would it make sense to consider other libraries?


I didn't look into this in depth so not sure if there's major benefits feature-wise and how much work this would entail...

 

libssh seems to have undergone an external security audit recently so security could be one consideration.

 

re: CentOS, this is discussed here: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16492
