The commit that removed no-ripemd stated that it was needed for openssh.
However with recent OpenSSH releases (7.4), RIPEMD-160 is run-time disabled.
I've verified this with ssh -vvv making no mention of RIPEMD-160 anywhere.

The topic and patch is about OpenSSL but description is about OpenSSH.
What has OpenSSL to do with OpenSSH?

kind regards

as far as things go, openssh is part of the package feeds here:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/master/net/openssh

while openssl is part of the core packages
removing this cipher if unused, makes sense also to reduce openssl size

my 2c :)

thanks

What happens if someone has a private package feed and they’re still using it?

I think we should remove ciphers when they’re proven weak or otherwise vulnerable, like AES128-CBC… not when we’re unaware of anyone using it.

Last time I tried to remove this, some other things in packages/ broke
as well. If you really care about this, please do a full build with
*all* feeds and all packages that use openssl enabled to ensure that
this doesn't break anything.
