From f11b20156ba10c7a7cfe55d1fa8e1cd41121c95b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Tatham Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2022 16:45:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Windows PuTTYgen docs: remove redundant text. When I was writing the documentation for the new command-line options, I wondered why there was an existing section for the corresponding GUI setting for each option I'd added except strong primes. Now I've found it: strong primes are discussed in the same section as prime- generation methods. So I can replace the second explanation with a cross-reference. --- doc/pubkey.but | 7 +------ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/pubkey.but b/doc/pubkey.but index ed755760..57282455 100644 --- a/doc/pubkey.but +++ b/doc/pubkey.but @@ -507,12 +507,7 @@ The options supported on the command line are: \dt \cw{\-\-strong-rsa} \dd When generating an RSA key, make sure the prime factors of the key -modulus are \q{strong primes}.
