Looks more like upstream was never interested and PSC gave up. Part of the HPN patches is to optionally strip encryption (and now even integrity checks) for the data transfer. Doesn't fit into what the OpenSSH people want, not even as an option. The last version now renamed the binaries and (so far) you only have the patched sources on github, no patches against openssh-portable. This feels more like a fork. If we had a plain openssh-portable otherwise, I'd say remove the patch and provide a hpnssh package, but we probably want NetBSD adaptions then in the package too. >My quick reaction is that unless we are confident that the HPN patches: In the current state our in-tree version doesn't work correctly and often makes things slower. I should test the github version if that's a problem with our patch handling or with NetBSD itself.
