1. Introduction
1.1 Project/Component Working Name:
SER removal
1.2 Name of Document Author/Supplier:
Author: Lukas Rovensky
1.3 Date of This Document:
19 March, 2010
1.4 The requested release taxonomy:
Patch binding for the announcement and marking as Obsolete.
Minor binding for the removal.
1.5 Introduction
This FastTrack will EOF the Sip Express Router (SER) and its web
based
interface -- SERWeb -- from Solaris Next and obsolete SER and
SERWeb in
Solaris 10.
On November 4th 2008 a new SIP Router project was announced and
joined
by SER developers, [1]. This also means that SER itself is no longer
developed in favour of the SIP Router, [2].
Since SER is no longer developed product it shall be removed from
Solaris Next. Should a similar product be required then the SIP
Router
(Kamailio) may be a good candidate.
Note, that attributes(5) documents an exceptio, which can apply to
this
case:
4. An interface specification which isn't controlled
by Sun has been changed incompatibly and the vast
majority of interface consumers expect the newer
interface.
1.6 Previous Relevant ARC cases
LSARC/2004/324 - sfw/SIP Proxy Server (actually still in waiting
state), [3]
1.7 SIP Status In Solaris, RFC 3261
SER itself provides functionality, which implements SIP protocol,
RFC 3261,
[8]. There are currently also two libraries in Solaris, which
implement
the SIP protocol (RFC 3261, [8]) and can be eventually used for
implementation of SIP routing:
* libsip (also in S10, since U4), PSARC 2006/402, [4], CR
6461142, [5]
This library is developed by Oracle and it is available both
in Solaris
10 and OpenSolaris / Solaris Next. As per the responsible
engineer,
there is at least one customer, who had built its application
using
libsip.
* libosip2, LSARC 2009/277, [6], CR 6826484, [7]
This is an open sourse library, [9]. There are no further
plans with
this library as per the responsible engineer.
1.8 Input From Marketing, Usage of SER
Marketing was informed about the intention to remove SER from Solaris
Next. They do not seem to have any real data, which would support or
deny this action. Their current position is as the following:
"Right now, I agree with the general position that SER seems like an
unsupported offering and we should drop it, however we do need to
assess if we should and who should pick up SIP router."
The I-team also tried to approach OS Ambassadors ([email protected])
to get
more info about SER usage but no one provided any data.
The I-team also looked at IPS download statistics maintained by
Stephen
Hahn and by end of February 2010 SER reached 24813 downloads as part
of OpenSolaris.
2. Documentation
Obsoleting SER and SERWeb in Solaris 10 will be announced in
release notes
for Solaris 10.
Interface Stability in SER man page (ser(8)) in Solaris 10 will be
set to
"Obsolete, External".
3. Packaging and Delivery
SUNWserr, SUNWseru and SUNWserweb packages will be removed from
OpenSolaris. This does mean that the renamed packages will no longer
be delivered (service:network:sip:ser and
service:network:sip:ser:administration).
4. Interfaces
All the interfaces described below will be obsoleted in Solaris 10
and removed from OpenSolars / SNV.
The following files and directories (including all their content)
will be
removed from OpenSolaris / SNV:
/usr/sfw/sbin/ser
/usr/sfw/sbin/serctl
/usr/sfw/lib/ser/
/usr/sfw/share/doc/ser/
/etc/sfw/ser/
/usr/sfw/share/serweb/
