Hi,

I'd hoped to see the new version of ssh-copy-id included in 6.2,
particularly given that the associated bug is tagged as blocking V_6_2

  https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1980

is the fact that it's not in yet an oversight, or were you still waiting
on me to do something before you're ready to include it?

As mentioned in my last comment on that bug, I added the -o option 12
days ago, so the version to use would be available here:

  http://git.hands.com/ssh-copy-id

=-=-=-

BTW if anyone's got access to systems with particularly ancient or
deranged shells, where they would realistically like to run this script,
then bug reports telling me that there are still people using shells
that don't understand $(...) and/or ${FOO:+BAR}, for instance, would be
interesting -- although if the machine in question is going to get
powered up for the first time this millennium in order to do the test,
then I'm less interested. ;-)

Please grab a copy of the script from here, and give it a go:

  http://git.hands.com/ssh-copy-id?p=ssh-copy-id.git;a=blob_plain;f=ssh-copy-id;hb=HEAD

the man page is here -- proof reading would be welcome:

  http://git.hands.com/ssh-copy-id?p=ssh-copy-id.git;a=blob_plain;f=ssh-copy-id.1;hb=HEAD

(of course I just found a couple of things to tweak on the man page :-) )

Cheers, Phil.
