Please write to Klee [EMAIL PROTECTED]. He's committed to take on the package, but I suspect he could use some help with running tests and submitting bug reports on the results of the tests.

[comp.os.linux.announce] Clarification - Linux-FT, The Road Ahead
Does the main figures in the Debian community have anything to say about this? Do you intend to cooperate in this important effort? Thanks, --Amos --Amos Shapira | Of course Australia was marked for | glory, for its people had been chosen [EMAIL PROTECTED] | by the finest judges in England. | -- Anonymous---BeginMessage--- -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- LINUX-FT The Road Ahead -- Linux-FT is a Lasermoon Ltd product which was developed with the intention of achieving POSIX.1 and XPG4 certification as part of a project Lasermoon started in January 1995. Lasermoon obtained the required licences (POSIX.1, XPG4 etc) and X/Open membership to facilitate this fully GPL'ed effort. Unifix were involved in the development of the distribution, and components from Linux-FT were fed back into other Unifix products (hence the similarities). The technology behind Linux-FT was acquired by Caldera during 1996 and will be incorporated into the Caldera's Linux products. Caldera's involvement with Linux-FT has been the subject of many postings and press announcements over many months and details can be found on the Linux-FT WWW site at www.lasermoon.co.uk and Caldera (www.caldera.com). Unifix have no connection with, or control over Linux-FT. Whilst we are flattered that Linux-FT is receiving such attention, BOTH Unifix GmbH and the Unifix 2.0 RELEASE HAVE NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH CONTINUING Linux-FT DEVELOPMENTS. Caldera and Lasermoon are continuing the work of developing a truely Standards Certified/Branded Linux (released under the GPL). Working with the orignial developers, we welcome all contributors to the POSIX.1 and XPG4 standardisation effort which is essential for the long term success of Linux. By working together, we can accomplish this effort in a much more effecive manner and comply with the licensing requirements of The Open Group and other such organisations.

Re: [comp.os.linux.announce] Clarification - Linux-FT, The Road Ahead
From: Amos Shapira [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Statement about the Linux POSIX compliance effort] Does the main figures in the Debian community have anything to say about this? Do you intend to cooperate in this important effort? I just uploaded the POSIX.1 test suite to our master site. It will show up tonight in ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/project/misc/NIST-PCTS_151-2.tar.gz NIST decided to make the suite available without charge. The Debian Project most heartily applauds this decision. In fact we most heartily jump up and down with glee and cheer unabashedly. My plan is to package the POSIX.1 test suite so that any user can run it and independently verify the POSIX.1 compliance of his/her system. For this, we need volunteers. So far, Klee Dienes [EMAIL PROTECTED] has said he'd look at it but hasn't made a committment. We need more people to look at and work on this. Please volunteer if you can. I don't know anything about the XPG4 test suite. Is it available to us?
