hydra needs libssh-0.11, won't compile with 0.2

[caimi.marco@…]

Current hydra version 5.4 fails to compile with libssh 0.2, #defines KEXT_COMP_C_S and KEXT_COMP_S_C changed to SSH_COMP_C_S and SSH_COMP_S_C

current stable libssh version in macports is 0.2, so it is safe to patch the portfile:

I added
reinplace "s|KEX_COMP_C_S|SSH_COMP_C_S|g" ${worksrcpath}/hydra-ssh2.c
reinplace "s|KEX_COMP_S_C|SSH_COMP_S_C|g" ${worksrcpath}/hydra-ssh2.c

to the post-patch section and it compiled just fine

no, sorry. LD returns errors.. some symbols are not resolved, so the final binary is 0 bytes.

still does not work

Assigning to maintainer.

It's been ​suggested that we make a new port libssh01 just for hydra's dependency. We could do this, but would have to make sure that the files installed by libssh01 don't conflict with the files installed by libssh. Perhaps see the ports apr and apr0 for ideas.

As another possible solution, remove the dependency on libssh from the portfile for hydra. If libssh can have an older version compiled at the same time without conflicts, then add either a +ssh variant to hydra to pull in that older version of libssh, or just update hydra's port to pull it in directly.

Cc Me!

I just committed in r36653 the removal of the libssh dependency. Not closing the ticket as the port obviously won't be able to fully fulfill its duty.
As I'm not hydra's maintainer anymore, removing myself from Assignee. Feel free to step up and take ownership!

FYI: hydra still fails to compile if libssh is present. To work around this for now, deactivate libssh before installing hydra. I'm working on a better fix. Please stand by.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Committed a new port libssh01 and updates to hydra to use it in r37351. Several other fixes for hydra in that commit; read the log message.
