DSA is removed at compile time from OpenSSH 9.8 and higher.
That means we can no longer test it in our integration tests. It seems like a
good time to remove it. From the OpenSSH release notes:
DSA, as specified in the SSHv2 protocol, is inherently weak - being
limited to a 160 bit private key and use of the SHA1 digest. Its
estimated security level is only 80 bits symmetric equivalent.
OpenSSH has disabled DSA keys by default since 2015 but has retained
run-time optional support for them. DSA was the only mandatory-to-
implement algorithm in the SSHv2 RFCs, mostly because alternative
algorithms were encumbered by patents when the SSHv2 protocol was
specified.
This has not been the case for decades at this point and better
algorithms are well supported by all actively-maintained SSH
implementations. We do not consider the costs of maintaining DSA
in OpenSSH to be justified and hope that removing it from OpenSSH
can accelerate its wider deprecation in supporting cryptography
libraries.
* Move test projects to test folder.
Move global.json to root of repo.
Update solution items in solution.
* Move test projects to test folder.
Move global.json to root of repo.
Update solution items in solution.
Update appveyor configuration/
* Attempt to have appveyor use the correct .NET SDK.
* Update .NET SDK to version 7.0.402.
* Move Data folder below Renci.SshNet.Tests.
* Make csinst less chatty.
* Move Data folder directly below test folder as it's used by multiple test projects.
* Remove CS1591 nowarn from concrete test projects as this is already defined in the Directory.Build.props that is in the test folder.
* Fix integration test after moving test projects
