SSH updated on all gnome.org servers

[Gregory Leblanc <gleblanc linuxweasel com>]

Just to let everyone know, I've just finished upgrading the ssh versions
on the gnome.org machines.

If you log into these machines, either to make packages releases, or
whatever, you may see a message which says something like:
The authenticity of host 'widget.gnome.org (209.116.70.72)' can't be
established.
RSA key fingerprint is e8:6f:d6:09:46:20:e4:f6:ef:6d:8a:49:0c:3d:2e:fa.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? 

Say yes, and be happy that things will work better now.  If you don't
see it, don't worry, you're just using an older version of an SSH
client.

Technical hoo-haw
=================
This warning comes up because the new OpenSSH can use RSA host keys for
protocol 2, which is the default.  Since this wasn't possible with the
old version, new keys have been created, and have to be added to your
client, so that it recognizes the server.
