warnings all come from dropbear being sloppy about char* vs unsigned char*.
I've got a variety of opinions about what should be done about it but I'm
not going to interfere with it because they'll surely fix it upstream
sooner or later.
@ -1274,14 +1274,42 @@ than 128kB, and RECV_MAX_PAYLOAD_LEN hardly matters at all. So I'm going
with 512kB / 128kB. And I confirm, that does work with WinSCP.
XXX - ed25519? new dropbear 2020.79!
December 28, 2020.
Dropbear 2020.79 finally adds support for ed25519, which is a frequent
comment I've received from users because some openssh configuration
generates these keys by default I guess? Anyways, I'm finally updating
it to 2020.81.
The update went about as you would expect and seems to be successful. I
just onnected to my phone using an ed25519 user key for authentication --
it works!
So that's about time for a new release. People have apparently been
waiting since March for the WinSCP fix, though I stopped getting emails
about it and that's why I haven't bothered with it.
The only thing pending is updating to the SDK needed for the play store.
Supposedly they require 29 today and will require 30 in aug 2021. I
happen to have already used 30 for TunerTime, so I know I've got the SDK
version 30 installed all the way, so that's what I'm gonna aim for I
guess.
It's currently at 28, so that's not a huge step...
Looking at the list of things to expect when updating to SDK 30, the only
one that looks relevant is "scoped storage enforcement", which is just
the /sdcard nightmare that we've known all along is getting worse.
