Description: OpenSS7 Old News.

Approved for Immediate Release

Mar 15, 2007
OpenSS7 today announced Release 0.9.2.2 of the STREAMS Socket Library (SOCK) strsock package.

(Edmonton, Alberta -- Mar 15, 2007)   OpenSS7 today announced Release 0.9.2.2 of the STREAMS Socket Library (SOCK) strsock package. The OpenSS7 STREAMS Sockets package provides STREAMS modules and drivers, libraries, programs, initialization scripts, and daemons.

The OpenSS7 STREAMS Sockets package contains header files and a number of modules and drivers and the associated documentation originally contained in the Linux Fast-STREAMS release, but not contained in the Linux STREAMS (LiS) releases.

This OpenSS7 Project release is the second separate release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS Sockets package whose components were formerly part of the strss7, strxnet and streams packages. These networking modules provide the Sockets library. The package contains all the necessary manual pages and other doumentation. The package is packaged as an OpenSS7 style autoconf tarball.

This is the second alpha release for Linux Fast-STREAMS and is part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (openss7-0.9.2.E). This release is primarily a maintenance release supporting recent distributions and tool chains.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

• Improvements to the common build environment with better support for standalone package builds on 2.4 kernels.
• Support for autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10 and gettext 0.16.
• Support for Ubuntu 6.10 distribution and bug fixes for i386 kenels.
• The package now looks for other subpackages with a version number as unpacked by separate tarball.

This is a public alpha release of the package. 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, contact info@openss7.com.

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 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 for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. See the strsock package page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.

See ChangeLog and NEWS in the release for more information. Also, see the strsock.pdf manual in the release (also in html here).
