| openss7 1.1.1 2009-09-08 ReleasedDescription: OpenSS7 Old News.Approved for Immediate Release Sep 8, 2009 (Edmonton, Alberta -- Sep 8, 2009) OpenSS7 today announced Release 1.1.1.20090908 of the openss7 package. This is the OpenSS7 package. It contains all of the OpenSS7 release code. This is the only package released by OpenSS7. This package contains all of the former sub-packages of the OpenSS7 Master Package, including:
Fully deprecated by this release and no longer released by OpenSS7 are the following former sub-packages of the OpenSS7 Master Package:
This distribution is applicable to Linux 2.4, 2.6 and 3.x kernels and was targeted at ix86, x86_64, ppc and ppc64 architectures, but should build and install for other architectures as well. This is the third OpenSS7 respin of the OpenSS7 package. This is a production grade release. All existing validation test suites run clean on supported distributions, production kernels and architectures. The OpenSS7 package has undergone significant changes, so follow closely. In its first incarnation, epoch zero (0), the openss7 package was an add-on package to a now deprecated version of STREAMS. This changed due to the deprecation of the old versions of STREAMS. In its second incarnation, epoch one (1), the openss7 package contained Linux Fast-STREAMS and a number of other sub-packages, each capable of building and installing separately. This changed due to the increasing maintenance overhead as additional sub-packages were added. In its latest incarnation, epoch two (2), the OpenSS7 package is a monolithic package containing Linux Fast-STREAMS and most of the other sub-packages in a single build package. Major feature additions since the last public release are as follows:
Major packaging changes since last public release, epoch one (1), are:
Major upgrades from the last public release are:
Major maintenance items since the last public release are:
For completed detail on maintenance items, see BUGS in the release. This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release before reporting bugs. This is the third release of the combined OpenSS7 master package. See README in the release for a listing of the replaced sub-packages. Most of the sub-packages replaced by this release were production grade for Linux Fast-STREAMS at the time of release. All existing validation test suites run clean on supported distributions and architectures. OpenSS7 no longer releases a master package and independent sub-packages. All pertinent sub-packages were combined in to a single release tarball. This was done because many package managers (e.g. yum and apt) cannot handle complex kernel-versioned dependencies between sub-packages. This release provides support for recent distributions and tool chains. 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, 2.6 and 3.x rpm(8) and dpkg(1) based distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel. This package is publicly released strictly under the GNU Aferro General Public License Version 3; however, commercial licensing is available. The release is available as an autoconf(1) tarball, SRPM, DSC, and a set of binary RPMs and DEBs for popular distributions.
