+OpenSSH 5.5p1 for Lucid
+
+<p>For various reasons, I chose to leave Ubuntu 10.04 LTS using OpenSSH 5.3p1.  The <a href="http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.4">new features in 5.4p1</a> such as certificate authentication, the new smartcard handling, netcat mode, and tab-completion in sftp are great, but unfortunately it was available just a little bit too late for me to be able to land it for 10.04 LTS.  I realise that many Lucid users want to make use of these features for one reason or another, though, so as a compromise here's a PPA containing <a href="https://launchpad.net/~cjwatson/+archive/openssh">OpenSSH 5.5p1 for Lucid</a>.</p>
+
+<p>I intend to keep this up to date for as long as I reasonably can, and I'm happy to accept bug reports on it in the <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh">usual place</a>.</p>
