This week on the show, we have all the latest news and stories! Plus an interview with BSD developer Alfred Perlstein, that you
“But too much focus on Joy, a favorite target for business magazine hagiography, obscures the larger picture. Berkeley’s most important contribution was not software; it was the way Berkeley created software. At Berkeley, a small core group — never more than four people at any one time — coordinated the contributions of an ever-growing network of far-flung, mostly volunteer programmers into progressive releases of steadily improving software. In so doing, they codified a template for what is now referred to as the “open-source software development methodology.” Put more simply, the Berkeley hackers set up a system for creating free software.”
“BSD patriots argue that the battle is far from over, that BSD is technically superior and will therefore win in the end. That’s for the future to determine. What’s indisputable is BSD’s contribution in the past. Even if, by 1975, Berkeley’s Free Speech Movement was a relic belonging to a fast-fading generation, on the fourth floor of Evans Hall, where Joy shared an office, the free-software movement was just beginning.”
“We've had this old protocol in various stages of deprecation for almost 10 years and it has been compile-time disabled for about a year.
This seems to have proceeded far more smoothly than even my most optimistic hopes, so this gives us greater confidence that we can complete the removal of protocol 1 soon. We want to do this partly to hasten the demise of this cryptographic trainwreck, but also because doing so removes a lot of legacy code from OpenSSH that inflates our attack surface. Having it gone will make our jobs quite a bit easier as we maintain and refactor.”
The current time-line looks like removing server-size protocol 1 support this August after OpenSSH 7.4 is released, leaving client-side disabled.
Then a year from now (June 2017) all protocol 1 code will be removed.
