Use Docker to Build

Build without installing a bunch of dev packages in your system.

./pullsrc.sh
docker build \
    -t opensshbuild \
    --build-arg DISTRO=ubuntu \
    --build-arg DISTVER=22.04 \
    --build-arg APT_MIRROR=ftp.us.debian.org \
    ./docker
docker run --rm -v $PWD:/data opensshbuild
docker image rm opensshbuild

Install DEBs

All DEBs are generated right under build directory. (Either direct build or with docker).

ls -l build/*.deb

# Ignore thoses files with dbgsym and tests
# Normally all you need is these 3 debs.
# openssh-client openssh-server openssh-sftp-server
find build -maxdepth 1 ! -name '*dbgsym*' ! -name '*tests*' -name '*.deb'
