gls cbd2ef34b3 Update security/py-paramiko to 1.9.0.
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)

paramiko is a module for python 2.2 (or higher) that implements the SSH2
protocol for secure (encrypted and authenticated) connections to remote
machines. unlike SSL (aka TLS), SSH2 protocol does not require hierarchical
certificates signed by a powerful central authority. you may know SSH2 as
the protocol that replaced telnet and rsh for secure access to remote shells,
but the protocol also includes the ability to open arbitrary channels to
remote services across the encrypted tunnel (this is how sftp works,
for example).
