This is another public release of the OpenSS7 Master Package. See README
in the release for a sub-package listing. 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 OpenSS7 Master Package is not released as often as the sub-packages.
As sub-packages are 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. This release provides support for recent
distributions and tool chains.
Major features since the last public release are as follows:
- License upgrade to AGPL Version 3.
- Modifications to build under Fedora 2.6.22.5-49 kernel. These
changes also support 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 kernel. Modifications to
build under Fedora 2.6.25-45.fc9 and 2.6.26.5-45.fc9 kernels.
Documented lib32gcc1 problem on Ubuntu. Noted problem running
under XEN kernels. XEN kernels are not yet supported. Added
MODULE_VERSION to all modules and drivers.
- Ability to strap out major documentation build and installation
primarily for embedded targets. Improvements to common build
process for embedded and cross-compile targets. Cross-compile
fixes (strap out AC_FUNC_REALLOC macro when cross-compiling).
Conversion of RPM spec files to common approach for major
subpackages.
- Build system now builds yum(8) repositories for RPMs and
apt-get(8) repositories for DEBs. Installation documentation has
been updated to include details of repository install sourcesref.
- Higher performance and updated performance papers,
<http://www.openss7.org/papers.html>.
- Updated tool chain to m4-1.4.12, autoconf-2.63 and texinfo-4.13.
Support for flex 2.5.33 in maintainer mode.
- Updated references database for manual pages and roff(1)
documents.
- Added the following major sub-packages to the master build (and
release):
+ strx25-0.9.2.1 <http://www.openss7.org/strx25_pkgl.html>
- All of the major subpackages that are at production release have
maintenance upgrades for new production kernels, distributions and
tool chains. Many of the major subpackages have greatly expanded
documentation and provide additional modules and drivers not
previously available in public releases. Significant feature
updates were made to:
+ strxns-0.9.2.7 <http://www.openss7.org/strxns_pkgl.html>
+ strinet-0.9.2.7 <http://www.openss7.org/strinet_pkgl.html>

before reporting bugs.

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.
