Switch back to security/py-paramiko, now that security/py-ssh has been merged
back into paramiko.
upstream changes:
-----------------
2012-11-15: released Fabric 1.5.1
[Bug] #776: Fixed serious-but-non-obvious bug in direct-tcpip driven gatewaying
(e.g. that triggered by -g or env.gateway.) Should work correctly now.
[Bug] #771: Sphinx autodoc helper unwrap_tasks didn't play nice with
@task(name=xxx) in some situations. This has been fixed.
2012-11-06: released Fabric 1.5.0
2012-11-06: released Fabric 1.4.4
[Feature] #38: (also #698) Implement both SSH-level and
ProxyCommand-based gatewaying for SSH traffic. (This is distinct from
tunneling non-SSH traffic over the SSH connection, which is #78 and not
implemented yet.)
Thanks in no particular order to Erwin Bolwidt, Oskari Saarenmaa,
Steven Noonan, Vladimir Lazarenko, Lincoln de Sousa, Valentino
Volonghi, Olle Lundberg and Github user @acrish for providing the
original patches to both Fabric and Paramiko.
[Feature] #684: (also #569) Update how task wraps task functions to
preserve additional metadata; this allows decorated functions to play
nice with Sphinx autodoc. Thanks to Jaka Hudoklin for catch & patch.
[Support] #103: (via #748) Long standing Sphinx autodoc issue requiring
error-prone duplication of function signatures in our API docs has been
fixed. Thanks to Alex Morega for the patch.
[Bug] #767: Fix (and add test for) regression re: having linewise
output automatically activate when parallelism is in effect. Thanks to
Alexander Fortin and Dustin McQuay for the bug reports.
[Bug] #736: Ensure context managers that build env vars play nice with
contextlib.nested by deferring env var reference to entry time, not
call time. Thanks to Matthew Tretter for catch & patch.
[Feature] #763: Add --initial-password-prompt to allow prefilling the
password cache at the start of a run. Great for sudo-powered parallel
runs.
[Feature] #665: (and #629) Update upload_template to have a more useful
return value, namely that of its internal put call. Thanks to Miquel
Torres for the catch & Rodrigue Alcazar for the patch.
[Feature] #578: Add name argument to task (docs) to allow overriding of
the default "function name is task name" behavior. Thanks to Daniel
Simmons for catch & patch.
[Feature] #761: Allow advanced users to parameterize fabric.main.main()
to force loading of specific fabfiles.
[Bug] #749: Gracefully work around calls to fabric.version on systems
lacking /bin/sh (which causes an OSError in subprocess.Popen calls.)
[Feature] #723: Add the group= argument to sudo. Thanks to Antti
Kaihola for the pull request.
[Feature] #725: Updated local to allow override of which local shell is
used. Thanks to Mustafa Khattab.
[Bug] #704: Fix up a bunch of Python 2.x style print statements to be
forwards compatible. Thanks to Francesco Del Degan for the patch.
[Feature] #491: (also [Feature] #385:) IPv6 host string support. Thanks
to Max Arnold for the patch.
[Feature] #699: Allow name attribute on file-like objects for get/put.
Thanks to Peter Lyons for the pull request.
[Bug] #711: get would fail when filenames had % in their path. Thanks
to John Begeman
[Bug] #702: require failed to test for "empty" values in the env keys
it checks (e.g. require('a-key-whose-value-is-an-empty-list') would
register a successful result instead of alerting that the value was in
fact empty. This has been fixed, thanks to Rich Schumacher.
[Bug] #718: isinstance(foo, Bar) is used in main instead of type(foo)
== Bar in order to fix some edge cases. Thanks to Mikhail Korobov.
[Bug] #693: Fixed edge case where abort driven failures within parallel
tasks could result in a top level exception (a KeyError) regarding
error handling. Thanks to Marcin Ku#mi#ski for the report.
[Support] #681: Fixed outdated docstring for runs_once which claimed it
would get run multiple times in parallel mode. That behavior was fixed
in an earlier release but the docs were not updated. Thanks to Jan
Brauer for the catch.
Fix a tyop in DESCR.
Upstream changes:
-----------------
v1.9.0 (6th Nov 2012)
---------------------
* #97 (with a little #93): Improve config parsing of `ProxyCommand` directives
and provide a wrapper class to allow subprocess-driven proxy commands to be
used as `sock=` arguments for `SSHClient.connect`.
* #77: Allow `SSHClient.connect()` to take an explicit `sock` parameter
overriding creation of an internal, implicit socket object.
* Thanks in no particular order to Erwin Bolwidt, Oskari Saarenmaa, Steven
Noonan, Vladimir Lazarenko, Lincoln de Sousa, Valentino Volonghi, Olle
Lundberg, and Github user `@acrish` for the various and sundry patches
leading to the above changes.
v1.8.1 (6th Nov 2012)
---------------------
* #90: Ensure that callbacks handed to `SFTPClient.get()` always fire at least
once, even for zero-length files downloaded. Thanks to Github user `@enB` for
the catch.
* #85: Paramiko's test suite overrides
`unittest.TestCase.assertTrue/assertFalse` to provide these modern assertions
to Python 2.2/2.3, which lacked them. However on newer Pythons such as 2.7,
this now causes deprecation warnings. The overrides have been patched to only
execute when necessary. Thanks to `@Arfrever` for catch & patch.
v1.8.0 (3rd Oct 2012)
---------------------
* #17 ('ssh' 28): Fix spurious `NoneType has no attribute 'error'` and similar
exceptions that crop up on interpreter exit.
* 'ssh' 32: Raise a more useful error explaining which `known_hosts` key line was
problematic, when encountering `binascii` issues decoding known host keys.
Thanks to `@thomasvs` for catch & patch.
* 'ssh' 33: Bring `ssh_config` parsing more in line with OpenSSH spec, re: order of
setting overrides by `Host` specifiers. Specifically, the overrides now go by
file order instead of automatically sorting by `Host` value length. In
addition, the first value found per config key (e.g. `Port`, `User` etc)
wins, instead of the last. Thanks to Jan Brauer for the contribution.
* 'ssh' 36: Support new server two-factor authentication option
(`RequiredAuthentications2`), at least re: combining key-based & password
auth. Thanks to Github user `bninja`.
* 'ssh' 11: When raising an exception for hosts not listed in
`known_hosts` (when `RejectPolicy` is in effect) the exception message was
confusing/vague. This has been improved somewhat. Thanks to Cal Leeming for
highlighting the issue.
* 'ssh' 40: Fixed up & expanded EINTR signal handling. Thanks to Douglas Turk.
* 'ssh' 15: Implemented parameter substitution in SSHConfig, matching the
implementation of `ssh_config(5)`. Thanks to Olle Lundberg for the patch.
* 'ssh' 24: Switch some internal type checking to use `isinstance` to help prevent
problems with client libraries using subclasses of builtin types. Thanks to
Alex Morega for the patch.
* Fabric #562: Agent forwarding would error out (with `Authentication response
too long`) or freeze, when more than one remote connection to the local agent
was active at the same time. This has been fixed. Thanks to Steven McDonald
for assisting in troubleshooting/patching, and to GitHub user `@lynxis` for
providing the final version of the patch.
* 'ssh' 5: Moved a `fcntl` import closer to where it's used to help avoid
`ImportError` problems on Windows platforms. Thanks to Jason Coombs for the
catch + suggested fix.
* 'ssh' 4: Updated implementation of WinPageant integration to work on 64-bit
Windows. Thanks again to Jason Coombs for the patch.
* Added an IO loop sleep() call to avoid needless CPU usage when agent
forwarding is in use.
* Handful of internal tweaks to version number storage.
* Updated `setup.py` with `==dev` install URL for `pip` users.
* Updated `setup.py` to account for packaging problems in PyCrypto 2.4.0
* Added an extra `atfork()` call to help prevent spurious RNG errors when
running under high parallel (multiprocess) load.
* Merge PR #28: https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/pull/28 which adds a
ssh-keygen like demo module. (Sofian Brabez)
v1.7.7.2 16may12
----------------
* Merge pull request #63: https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/pull/63 which
fixes exceptions that occur when re-keying over fast connections. (Dwayne
Litzenberger)

Release: 0.9.6 [10 Nov, 2012]
New Features
Experimental support for subsetting fonts
Subsetting a font means reducing the font to contain only the glyphs for the text actually present in the book. This can easily halve the size of the font. calibre can now do this for all embedded fonts during a conversion. Turn it on via the 'Subset all embedded fonts' option under the Look & Feel section of the conversion dialog. calibre can subset both TrueType and OpenType fonts. Note that this code is very new and likely has bugs, so please check the output if you turn on subsetting. The conversion log will have info about the subsetting operations.
EPUB Input: Try to workaround EPUBs that have missing or damaged ZIP central directories. calibre should now be able to read/convert such an EPUB file, provided it does not suffer from further corruption.
Allow using identifiers in save to disk templates.
Closes tickets: 1074623
calibredb: Add an option to not notify the GUI
Catalogs: Fix long tags causing catalog generation to fail on windows. Add the ability to cross-reference authors, i.e. to relist the authors for a book with multiple authors separately.

New Features
Font embedding: Add support for the CSS 3 Fonts module, which means you can embed font families that have more that the usual four faces, with the full set of font-stretch and font-weight variations. Of course, whether the fonts actually show up on a reader will depend on the readers' support for CSS 3.
Sharing by email: Allow specifying an 'alias' or friendly name by which to identify each email recipient.
Closes tickets: 1069076
Embedding fonts: Allow adding ttf/otf font files to calibre directly to be used for embedding. That way the fonts do not have to be installed system wide. You can add a font to calibre via the 'Add fonts' button in the font chooser dialog for embedding fonts.
E-book viewer: Add the ability to rotate images to the popup image viewer.
Closes tickets: 1073513

Release: 0.9.4 [26 Oct, 2012]
New Features
Conversion: Add an option to embed a font family into the book.
The embedded font is used as the base font for all text that does not specify its own font family in the input document. Works only with output formats that support font embedding, principally EPUB/AZW3. Option is found under Look & Feel in the conversion dialog. You can ensure that the font is used for all text, regardless of the input document's styles by filtering out font family styles via the Filter Style Information option in the Conversion dialog.
When changing the title/author of a book, use hard links instead of copying the books' files, for a large speedup. Only works on filesystems that support hardlinks.
Linux installer: Resume interrupted downloads and verify the SHA-512 signature of the downloaded file before installing it.
Bug Fixes
Windows: Check if any of the files of a book are in use before changing the title/author, this prevents the creation of duplicate files if one of the files is open in another program
Kobo driver: Fix the ondevice status for some books getting lost.
Closes tickets: 1069403

Release: 0.8.70 [21 Sep, 2012]
New Features
Support for connecting MTP (non disk based) devices via USB, such as the Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD (Windows Vista and newer and Linux only)
calibre can now detect and connect to devices that do not present themselves as USB disks to the operating system. Newer Android devices all use the 'MTP' protocol when connected via USB. calibre now supports devices using this protocol on both Windows (Vista and newer) and Linux.
Calibre Portable: Create a new installer that does not require manually unzipping the Calibre Portable folder. Instead just run the installer and point it to the location you want to install to.
Calibre Portable: Add support for multiple libraries created inside the 'Calibre Portable' folder.
In the main book list when editing a blank published date, use a default value of Jan 2000 so that changing the date it easier
Template language: Add function approximate_formats() to get list of formats saved in the db for a book as opposed to the formats that actually exist on disk
Template language: Add a couple of new functions to get the path to individual book formats and the calibre library as a whole
Drivers for HTC Flyer and Trekstor 4ink
