Package openss7-0.9.2.E was released under GPLv2 2007-03-15.

This is the OpenSS7 Master Package package. It consists of a master
package that contains all other OpenSS7 Project package releases. Use
this package if you are interested in ease of installation of a wide
range of OpenSS7 Project packages.

The OpenSS7 Master Package package contains:

- sctp-0.2.25 (Linux Native Sockets SCTP),
- iperf-2.0.6 (Internet Performance),
- streams-0.9.2.2 (Linux Fast-STREAMS),
- strcompat-0.9.2.5 (STREAMS Compatibility Modules),
- strutil-0.9.2.5 (STREAMS Utilities),
- strbcm-0.9.2.3 (STREAMS Binary Compatibility Module),
- strtty-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS Terminals),
- strxns-0.9.2.5 (STREAMS X/Open Networking Services),
- strxnet-0.9.2.10 (STREAMS X/Open Networking),
- strsock-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS Sockets),
- strinet-0.9.2.5 (STREAMS Internet),
- strsctp-0.9.2.7 (STREAMS SCTP),
- striso-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS Open Systems Interconnect),
- netperf-2.3.5 (Network Performance),
- strchan-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS Channels),
- strisdn-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS ISDN Stack),
- strss7-0.9a.6 (STREAMS SS7 Stacks),
- sigtran-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS SIGTRAN Stack),
- strvoip-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS VoIP Stacks),
- osr61-0.9.2.1 (Dialogic Open System Release 6.1) and
- LiS-2.18.5 (Linux STREAMS).

If you need to build an install a significant number of these packages,
the OpenSS7 Master Package package is the easiest way to do so.

This is the fourth 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.

It is unlikely that the OpenSS7 Master Package will be released as
frequently as before. Sub-packages will be 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:

- Addition of the osr61 sub-package that contains Dialogic Open
System Release 6.1 version 239 GPL drivers.

- A few minor corrections to the common build process.

- Support for autoconf 2.61 and gettext 0.16.

- Support for Ubuntu 6.10 distribution and bug fixes for i386 kernels.

- The package now looks for 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 General 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
(http://www.openss7.org/download.html) for the `autoconf' tarballs,
SRPMs and DSCs. For tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs and binary RPMs and DEBs,
see the openss7 package page (http://www.openss7.org/openss7_pkg.html).
