This directory contains prepackaged versions of ssh 1.2.26 (both
client and server) for Debian GNU/Linux (release 2.0 and later), in
source and binary form.

Each binary-<arch> directory contains the binaries for one supported
architecture.  In addition to the ssh packages, we've also provided
copies of those packages they require (apart from libc, which it's
assumed you've got already).

The installation process automatically creates a host key for your
machine if it doesn't already have one, starts the ssh daemon and
arranges for it to start whenever the system boots.

The Debian source package is also here, in the usual format.

The binary packages for i386, m68k and sparc are the official ones
from non-us.debian.org.  The alpha binary package was built by Unix
Support, as non-us.debian.org didn't have it.

How to install
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The simple way:

# cd binary-<arch>
# dpkg --install *.deb

Where <arch> is the architecture of your machine (probably i386).

You might also be able to make the CD work with apt-get.  I found that
putting the following kind of line in /etc/apt/sources.list worked,
but I've no idea if this is correct:

deb file:<path-to-cdrom>/packaged/debian binary-i386/

Where <path-to-cdrom> should be where the CD is mounted.

Notes for me
-=-=-=-=-=-=

Build new Packages files using:

for dir in binary-*; do
  dpkg-scanpackages $dir /dev/null "" > $dir/Packages
done
