From 4e38df5c3c1e96a94d3c48600bdbfdf59eca7163 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: aszlig Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2013 11:57:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] python-paramiko: Update and clean up meta. The upstream package has a new maintainer (Jeff Forcier) and thus the main homepage for the project is the GitHub page. Also the long description contains quite a lot of unrelevant information, so I've used the one from PyPI, which is a lot smaller and just contains what the library supports and does.
