strutil 0.9.2.5 Released

Description: OpenSS7 Old News.

Approved for Immediate Release

Mar 15, 2007
OpenSS7 today announced Release 0.9.2.5 of the STREAMS Utilities strutil package.

(Edmonton, Alberta -- Mar 15, 2007)   OpenSS7 today announced Release 0.9.2.5 of the STREAMS Utilities strutil package. The OpenSS7 STREAMS Utilities package provides STREAMS modules and drivers, programs and daemons for administration and handling of the STREAMS subsystem.

The strutil package is currently incomplete. The purpose of the package was to move STREAMS utility programs and modules outside of the STREAMS release package so as to allow them to be used with both LiS and Linux Fast-STREAMS. As Linux Fast-STREAMS has already shown superior to LiS in terms of both performance and conformance, it is no longer necessary to keep these packages separate and they can be combined once again with Linux Fast-STREAMS.

This is an internal alpha release of the package.

Major features since the last internal release are as follows:

• Added versions to all exported symbols. Made OpenSS7 unique functions GPL export.
• 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 kernels.
• The package now looks for other subpackages with a version number as unpacked by separate tarball.

This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release before reporting bugs.

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 strutil package page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.

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