Package strisdn-0.9.2.1 was released under GPLv2 2007-01-08. OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN (strisdn) is an OpenSS7 Project implementation of a number of ISDN related components, including Q.920, Q.921, Q.931, GR-303, V5.2, DPNSS/DASS. The package includes kernel modules, SVR 4.2 STREAMS drivers, modules, libraries, utilities, test programs, daemons, and development environment for the development and execution of OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN applications for the SVR 4.2 STREAMS environment.
This release is the first separate release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN package. Some of the components in this package were formerly present in the `strss7' package. Various networking drivers are provided as well as CDI, DLPI, NPI, TPI and CCI header files for ISDN operation. The package contains the necessary manual pages and other documentation for ISDN components in a separate autoconf tarball. The OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN package includes kernel modules, SVR 4.2 STREAMS drivers, modules, libraries, utilities, test programs, daemons, and development environment for the development and execution of OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN applications for the SVR 4.2 STREAMS environment. This package is currently incomplete. It is being released as a reference point for the community. If you are interested in completion of this package, sponsor the OpenSS7 Project. To sponsor the project, contact <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. This is the initial open source release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN package. This release contains modules and drivers formerly only available with Commercial releases of the `strss7' package and which are only recently available as open source with the release of this package. With OpenSS7 Master Package release openss7-0.9.2.D, the ISDN components were separated from the `strss7' package and placed in this package. Not all of the ISDN components previously part of the `strss7' package have been strapped into this release. Components will be re-validated against Linux Fast-STREAMS on a module-by-module and driver-by-driver basis. See TODO in the release, or `Schedule', in the manual, for information about the release schedule. In this initial release, the major component first available is LAPD. lapd(4) is a pushable STREAMS module that is pushed over a cdi(4) HDLC channel to form an ISDN Q.931 link providing the Data Link Provider Interface (dlpi(7)). A complete test suite will be available in a further release. Subsequent releases in 1Q 2007 will include the additional full ISDN Q.931, Q.933, GR-303 and V5.2 drivers with conformance test suites. _This is the initial public alpha release of the package. Please see README-alpha in the release or `Maturity', in the manual._ 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 General 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 (http://www.openss7.org/download.html) for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. For tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs and binary RPMs and DEBs, see the strisdn package page (http://www.openss7.org/strisdn_pkg.html).
