Status for dropbear/2026.91-1

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
raise-connection-delay-in-tests.patch Raise connection delay in tests.
0.1s delay is too short on slower hardware such as the armhf debci
runners (or armhf porterboxes). Ideally the test would wait for the
listener to actually be available instead of doing guess work, but
raising the delay should be good enough for now.

skip-dropbearconvert-test-for-key-type-ed25519-in-legacy-.patch Skip dropbearconvert test for key type ed25519 in legacy PEM format
As of OpenSSH 10.3p1, generating ed25519 keys in PEM format using
ssh-keygen(1) yields an error:

~$ ssh-keygen -f /tmp/foo.key -t ed25519 -N '' -m PEM
Generating public/private ed25519 key pair.
Saving key "/tmp/foo.key" failed: invalid format

This appears to be intentional:
