Dag-Erling Smørgrav cf783db152 Add a pre-merge script which reverts mechanical changes such as added
$FreeBSD$ tags and man page dates.

Add a post-merge script which reapplies these changes.

Run both scripts to normalize the existing code base.  As a result, many
files which should have had $FreeBSD$ tags but didn't now have them.

Partly rewrite the upgrade instructions and remove the now outdated
list of tricks.

FreeBSD maintainer's guide to OpenSSH-portable
==============================================
00) Make sure your mail spool has plenty of free space. It'll fill up
pretty fast once you're done with this checklist.
01) Download the latest OpenSSH-portable tarball and signature from
OpenBSD (ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/).
02) Verify the signature:
$ gpg --verify openssh-X.YpZ.tar.gz.asc
03) Unpack the tarball in a suitable directory:
$ tar xf openssh-X.YpZ.tar.gz
04) Copy to the vendor directory:
$ svn co svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base/vendor-crypto/openssh/dist
$ rsync --archive --delete openssh-X.YpZ/ dist/
05) Take care of added / deleted files:
$ svn rm $(svn stat dist | awk '$1 == "!" { print $2 }')
$ svn add --no-auto-props $(svn stat dist | awk '$1 == "?" { print $2 }')
06) Commit:
$ svn commit -m "Vendor import of OpenSSH X.YpZ." dist
07) Tag:
$ svn copy -m "Tag OpenSSH X.YpZ." \
svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base/vendor-crypto/openssh/dist \
svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base/vendor-crypto/openssh/X.YpZ
08) Check out head and run the pre-merge script:
$ svn co svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base/head
$ cd head/crypto/openssh
$ sh freebsd-pre-merge.sh
09) Merge from the vendor branch:
$ svn merge -cNNNNNN \^/vendor-crypto/openssh/dist .
0A) Resolve conflicts. Remember to bump the version addendum in
version.h, and update the default value in ssh{,d}_config and
ssh{,d}_config.5.
0B) Diff against the vendor branch:
$ svn diff \^/vendor-crypto/openssh/dist .
Files that have modifications relative to the vendor code, and
only those files, must have the svn:keywords property set to
FreeBSD=%H and be listed in the 'keywords' file created by the
pre-merge script.
0C) Run the post-merge script:
$ sh freebsd-post-merge.sh
0D) Run the configure script:
$ sh freebsd-configure.sh
0E) Check config.h very carefully.
0F) If source files have been added or removed, update the appropriate
makefiles to reflect changes in the vendor's Makefile.in.
10) Build libssh:
$ cd ../../secure/lib/libssh && make obj && make depend && make
11) Follow the instructions in ssh_namespace.h to get a list of new
symbols, and them to ssh_namespace.h. Keep it sorted!
12) Build and install world, reboot, test. Pay particular attention
to pam_ssh(8), which gropes inside libssh and will break if
something significant changes or if ssh_namespace.h is out of
whack.
13) Commit, and hunker down for the inevitable storm of complaints.
An overview of FreeBSD changes to OpenSSH-portable
==================================================
XXX This section is out of date
0) VersionAddendum
The SSH protocol allows for a human-readable version string of up
to 40 characters to be appended to the protocol version string.
FreeBSD takes advantage of this to include a date indicating the
"patch level", so people can easily determine whether their system
is vulnerable when an OpenSSH advisory goes out. Some people,
however, dislike advertising their patch level in the protocol
handshake, so we've added a VersionAddendum configuration variable
to allow them to change or disable it.
1) Modified server-side defaults
We've modified some configuration defaults in sshd:
- PasswordAuthentication defaults to "no".
- LoginGraceTime defaults to 120 seconds instead of 600.
- PermitRootLogin defaults to "no".
- X11Forwarding defaults to "yes" (it's a threat to the client,
not to the server.)
2) Modified client-side defaults
We've modified some configuration defaults in ssh:
- CheckHostIP defaults to "no".
3) Canonic host names
We've added code to ssh.c to canonicize the target host name after
reading options but before trying to connect. This eliminates the
usual problem with duplicate known_hosts entries.
4) setusercontext() environment
Our setusercontext(3) can set environment variables, which we must
take care to transfer to the child's environment.
