You can deprecate something while still letting people add it back into their PPA manually. If you absolutely need an deprecated tool, no one's going to stop you: it's linux. Heck, just com,pile it from source and be on your merry unsupporteed way.
- monoideism 6y agoYeah, and lose the security updates? I much prefer the status quo. Don't agree that this change is necessary.
- TheRealPomax 6y agoThe scp protocol is literally deprecated: what do you not agree with? The idea (and already being worked on) is to change the scp command's underlying code so that it behaves exactly the same as before, all your scripts will keep working just fine, it just won't use the now dead scp protocol under the hood and will instead use the universally supported sftp protocol.
- monoideism 6y agoThe replacement scp was described as not even being an official project of OpenSSH, so it's not being officially replaced. Is that not correct? And you don't deprecate a 25-year old utility with just a replacement "idea".
