[Fab-user] [ANN] We're going back to Paramiko! (+ update)

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi all,

Big news (some of you may know this already, but now it's totally
public): our 'ssh' fork of Paramiko is now officially defunct and
we're going back to using Paramiko proper:
http://bitprophet.org/blog/2012/09/29/paramiko-and-ssh/ .


It's alluded to in that post, but Fab 1.5 will be out soon -- there's
already a lot in master that's not in 1.4.x :( My only excuse is
(still) that I've been busy at the new day job, plus summer vacation +
work trips.

I just want to get the SSH tunneling feature banged out (which
requires changes to both Paramiko & Fabric) as that's been sitting in
the wings for far too long, and has a bunch of folks helpfully
providing patches/guidance. Then we release.


Also alluded to in the above link: I'm going to try and get a blog up
for Fabric itself soon, so my [ANN] posts here will basically just be
hyperlinks from then on. That doesn't mean the list is dead or that I
won't read/respond to replies to [ANN] links -- just that I'm moving
the canonical location of newsy crap to a website.

Thanks,
Jeff
