As Levente got as far as he did, I guess we at the network team have a job ahead that we can manage very fast, if we lay ourselv in chaines. CVS access in ssh mode. I refound the http://www.bouncycastle.org/ it's for the javax.crypto package, and using it with the jsch (http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/) package we could get ssh combined with http://javacvs.netbeans.org/index.html, I guess we could make cvs via ssh possible for development direct in jnode better/possible to sourceforge. Is there any voliters? I'll my self be one of them.

Martin

Crypto API

Submitted by galatnm on Sat, 05/22/2004 - 09:49.

Martin,

For javax.crypto, there is GNU Crypto (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-crypto/), an external projet of GNU Classpath. Perhaps can we check this project first.

The javax.crypto in the GNU C

Submitted by hagar on Sat, 05/22/2004 - 17:22.

The javax.crypto in the GNU Crypto is based on the Bouncy Castle Crypto APIs, but I guess we should take the GNU packages and add them to the core. The rest, as I see it, should be added to the net. I'll start with adding the gnu crypto.

Regards,

Licenses

Hi Martin,

Make sure to check the licenses of the stuff you want to include. It is very easy to overlook that and have an unwanted "lock-in".

I just checked: JavaCVS:

I just checked:

JavaCVS:
License: NetBeans source code is available under a variant of the Mozilla Public License (MPL). The license, called the Sun Public License (SPL), is the equivalent to the MPL with only trivial changes such as mentioning Sun Microsystems rather than Netscape. It is compliant with the Open Source Definition. You will find the the hacker's diff, and the lawyer's diff. As well as the full text of the SPL and a link to License FAQs.

JSCH:
JSch 0.0.* was released under the GNU LGPL license. Later, we have switched over to a BSD-style license.

I guess, we shall have a place where we put the licenses of other projects, but else it should ok to use these apis in JNode.
