Hello!
I had to compile openssh recently, and the README for cygwin is referencing
openssl-devel package which is obsolete now. I spent some time trying to
figure this out. Can you please update
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/85ceb0e64bff672558fc87958cd548f135c83cdd/contrib/cygwin/README#L80
to
mention libssl-devel instead ?
(I would do it, but I can't figure out how to submit a PR to that repo)
Hope this helps!
Sorin Savu

Clone the repo on github to your account, create branch, make changes, submit
a PR.

Obsolete package openssl-devel now depends on libssl-devel, if using the current
setup, so you get the correct packages installed and used: look at the package
setup.hint or the setup.ini entry.
Cygwin obsolete packages are most similar to other distros virtual packages, but
they can require specific dependencies and/or versions be installed: this avoids
updating dependencies and docs just because dependency package names change.

As a generic approach, that would do, however openssh-portable has quite a
few branches and being a security related package I was expecting some
strict guidelines on how to submit patches (which I can't find).
Anyhow, I see that all the patches start from master, so I will give it a
try.

If there's any guidelines, a bot would mail you once you submit a PR, like it
is so for Symfony subpackages. (When you file a PR against them, a bot comes
in, closes it and tells you to fu... erm, file it against main Symfony repo.)

Why I suggest a branch is because somebody could more easily inspect it
locally, when there's doubts.
Checking out from remote's master is a little bit more convoluted and
error-prone, than from a branch.
