Hi all,

based on the discussion I am adding right now, a new protocol: tcp:// which uses
the protocol we made on top of ssh way simple than ftp and capsicumized on the
server side), but without the requirement for a ssh connection.
This will enable people with performance concern but still willing to have data
encrypted to use spiped or socat for example as a transport.
And for other a simple inetd will work.
on inetd.conf
pkg stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/sbin/pkg -- -o
SSH_RESTRICT_DIR=/mypackages ssh
and define in /etc/services "pkg" to the port you want pkg to be serving its
files to.
for the repo on the pkg side:
tcp://url:port/mypackages
What do you think?
Not having a preference re: ftp I think this tcp:// option looks very
useful. As an aside has anyone written up how to setup a repo over ssh?
I've had a quick google with no luck. I'm sure its not too tricky and an
hour or so I could work it out but if anyone has already done it that
would be great.
Thanks,
Vince
For me as a maintainer it is very few lines of code to add, the protocol
itself being already written, way easier to suppoer and it provides an
interesting feature
by the ability to serve via spiped or inetd.
