Thanks to alienBOB. n/openssh-8.2p1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. Potentially incompatible changes: * ssh(1), sshd(8): the removal of "ssh-rsa" from the accepted CASignatureAlgorithms list. * ssh(1), sshd(8): this release removes diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 from the default key exchange proposal for both the client and server. * ssh-keygen(1): the command-line options related to the generation and screening of safe prime numbers used by the diffie-hellman-group-exchange-* key exchange algorithms have changed. Most options have been folded under the -O flag. * sshd(8): the sshd listener process title visible to ps(1) has changed to include information about the number of connections that are currently attempting authentication and the limits configured by MaxStartups. x/mesa-19.3.4-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
