openss7 0.9.2.D Released

Description: OpenSS7 Old News.

Approved for Immediate Release

Jan 8, 2007
OpenSS7 today announced Release 0.9.2.D of the OpenSS7 Master openss7 package.

(Edmonton, Alberta -- Jan 8, 2007)   OpenSS7 today announced Release 0.9.2.D of the OpenSS7 Master openss7 package. This is the OpenSS7 Master Package package. It consists of a master package that contains all other OpenSS7 Project package releases. Use this package if you are interested in ease of installation of a wide range of OpenSS7 Project packages.

The OpenSS7 Master Package package contains:

  • sctp-0.2.24 (Linux Native Sockets SCTP),
  • iperf-2.0.5 (Internet Performance),
  • streams-0.9.2.1 (Linux Fast-STREAMS),
  • strcompat-0.9.2.4 (STREAMS Compatibility Modules),
  • strtty-0.9.2.1 (STREAMS Terminals),
  • strxns-0.9.2.4 (STREAMS X/Open Networking Services),
  • strxnet-0.9.2.9 (STREAMS X/Open Networking),
  • strsock-0.9.2.1 (STREAMS Sockets),
  • strinet-0.9.2.4 (STREAMS Internet),
  • strsctp-0.9.2.6 (STREAMS SCTP),
  • striso-0.9.2.1 (STREAMS Open Systems Interconnect),
  • netperf-2.3.4 (Network Performance),
  • strchan-0.9.2.1 (STREAMS Channels),
  • strisdn-0.9.2.1 (STREAMS ISDN Stack),
  • strss7-0.9a.5 (STREAMS SS7 Stacks),
  • sigtran-0.9.2.1 (STREAMS SIGTRAN Stack),
  • strvoip-0.9.2.1 (STREAMS VoIP Stacks) and

If you need to build an install a significant number of these packages, the OpenSS7 Master Package package is the easiest way to do so.

This is the fourth public release of the OpenSS7 Master Package. The sub-packages have been reorganized for this release. See README in the release for a sub-package listing. Aside from sub-package reorganization, the major difference from previous release is that this release no longer contains LiS. Too many of the sub-packages will not even build against LiS because of its Stream head deficiencies.

Most of the sub-packages in the release are production grade for Linux Fast-STREAMS. All existing validation test suites run clean on supported distributions and architectures. The packages build better Debian/Ubuntu .deb files.

It is unlikely that the OpenSS7 Master Package will be released as frequently as before. Sub-packages will be released more often. To rebuild the master package with a new sub-package release, simply replace the directory to which the sub-package belongs with the unpacked sub-package release and then rebuild the master package.

The release provides the following enhancements and fixes:

  • Added the following sub-packages to the master build (and release):
    • strnsl-0.9.2.1
    • strbcm-0.9.2.2
    • striso-0.9.2.1
    • strsock-0.9.2.1
    • strtty-0.9.2.1
    • strutil-0.9.2.4
  • Automated release file generation making for vastly improved and timely text documentation present in the release directory.
  • This release candidate includes the changes made to the strsctp drivers at the 2006 SCTP Interop at the University of British Columbia. This version was interoperability tested with all implementations present.
  • Better support for Ubuntu and recent gcc compilers, including debian script corrections.
  • Support for most recent 2.6.18 kernels (including Fedora Core 5 with inode diet patchset).
  • Now builds 32-bit compatibility libraries, as well, and tests them against 64-bit kernel modules and drivers. The make installcheck target will now automatically test both 64-bit native and 32-bit compatibility versions, one after the other, on 64-bit platforms.
  • Added versioning of all library symbols.
  • Many documentation updates for all OpenSS7 packages. Automated release file generation making for vastly improved and timely text documentation present in the release directory.
  • Dropped support for LiS.
  • Updated init scripts for proper addition and removal of modules.
  • Start assigning majors at major device number 231 instead of major device number 230. Assign major device number 230 explicitly to the clone device. Package will now support extended ranges of minor devices on 2.6 kernels under Linux Fast-STREAMS only. streams now supports expanded addressable minor device numbers, permitting 2^16 addressable minor devices per major device number on 2.6 kernels: LiS cannot support this change.
  • Better detection of SUSE distributions, release numbers and SLES distributions: support for additional SuSE distributions on ix86 as well as x86_64. Added distribution support includes SLES 9, SLES 9 SP2, SLES 9 SP3, SLES 10, SuSE 10.1.
  • Improved compiler flag generation and optimizations for recent gcc compilers and some idiosyncratic behaviour for some distributions (primarily SUSE).
  • Optimized compilation is now available also for user level programs in addition to kernel programs. Added new --with-optimize option to `configure' to accomplish this.
  • Added --disable-devel configure option to suppress building and installing development environment. This feature is for embedded or pure runtime targets that do not need the development environment (static libraries, manual pages, documentation).
  • Added send-pr script for automatic problem report generation.
  • Each package will now build doxygen(1) html documentation with the doxy make target. See make help or README-make in the distribution for more information.

This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release before reporting bugs.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles, installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released under the GNU Public License Version 2. The release is available as an autoconf tarball, SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. See the openss7 package page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.

See ChangeLog and in the release for more information. Also, see the openss7.pdf manual in the release (also in html here).
