OpenSSH 8.8 deprecates SHA-1
Item posted by Bob Proulx <rwp> on Mon 11 Oct 2021 05:14:54 AM UTC.
OpenSSH 8.8 was released on September 26, 2021 and deprecated all use of the SHA-1 hash algorithm. This affects users using git, svn, hg repositories using ssh-rsa keys and who have upgraded to ssh 8.8. (The cvs repositories are not affected.) For user workarounds please see this documentation page.

Upgrading the services is a high priority but there are various entanglements which makes doing this immediately and quickly rather hard. It will take some time. Please be patient.
