I think this is one of the things urgently needed if we want to allow people to keep using lsh/lshd, along with applying the Nettle 3 upgrade patch².
I agree an lsh-2.2 update is needed. There are also compilation problems with the argp subdir and gcc-5, due to the changed inline semantics.
For nettle-3 and lsh-2.x, I'm considering doing the nettle3 update using dsa-compat.h instead, like in https://sources.debian.net/src/lsh-utils/2.1-7/debian/patches/nettle3.patch/
Either way is fine IMO.
Unfortunately, I don't have too much hacking time, and I also have a Nettle release due soon. Co-maintainers welcome.
I’m not volunteering ;-), but I guess that a minimal maintenance release fixing the build issues and upgrading the cipher suites would be enough. (I understand that it’s still quite a bit of work, but hopefully not as much as adding new features.)
Cheers, Ludo’.
