Hi!
The current release is from 2013, do you think it is time for another release?
I'm looking into reviving the lsh-utils package in Debian to see if it can be made to work in a modern environment. While doing so I wanted to build git master so that I can bisect things to see if I can find upstream commits that fixes known issues in version 2.1.
However, it seems -Wincompatible-pointer-types is now a fatal error in some GCC configurations (I'm using one derived from Debian gcc in trixie), so building git master failed for me:
lsftp.c:179:17: error: passing argument 1 of ‘do_gnu_stuff’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
Building with `make CC=-Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types` is a workaround, but would be better if you could patch the code?
Thanks, /Simon

I can't believe it's so long ago...

I wonder if it makes sense to add fixes to 2.1, rather than releasing something based on master branch (which is what I'm running daily, with few issues. Client, that is, lshd server has no real usage I'm aware of).

I've pushed a fix for this (and some other issues the compiler reports in the lsftp code).
When running tests, three of the x11 forwarding tests fail for me. I'm not looking into those now. But I want to fix so that lsh can be built with nettle 4.
