Re: [Fab-user] Fabric release candidate 1 out and **on PyPI**!

[Jeff Forcier]

Hi all,

Robey has just released Paramiko 1.7.6 which includes (among other
changes) the fix for our SSHException problem.

I haven't tested it yet myself, but plan to once I get back into
things (still stuck in bed/on drugs, and trying to keep typing to a
minimum. heh.) but I mostly wanted to get this out there so anyone who
has the time/inclination, can grab a copy and see if it introduces any
new problems.

Since the current 0.9 codebase has 1.7.4 included in it, I think the
process needs to be:

1. install Fab 0.9rc1 or later, if you haven't already
2. install Paramiko ==1.7.6 via easy_install/pip (which should
override/upgrade the vendorized 1.7.4. I think.)
3. Double-check the assumption in #2 by doing "import paramiko ;
print(paramiko.__version__)"
4. Run some fab tasks, or the test suite if you have the deps
installed, and see how things work.

Given the realities of this stuff (i.e. new code =~ new bugs) I do not
realistically expect to revert the vendorization at this time; I'll
probably wait until 0.9.1 or 1.0. But I'll need your help in testing
the new Paramiko regardless :)

Thanks,
Jeff
