LiS-2.18.1

Hai,

Post by Hai Zaar
Dear, List!
Where can I find that mysterious openSS7 LiS-2.18.1 release?
LiS-2.18.0 fails to compile on 2.6.11. I've patched it manually, but
I'm not sure if I did it right. Patch attached

Not enough. You also have to change invalid length read()/write()
interface for getpmsg()/putpmsg() to an ioctl interface (i.e.
LIS_I_GETPMSG, LIS_I_PUTPMSG) because, unlike earlier kernels, 2.6.11
range checks the length before passing the read(2)/write(2) system call
onto the character device driver.

There are a number of other things. Check back in the mail archive
if you don't want to use 2.18.1.

I always get confused by those GNU terms :)
Lets get it straight - do you I have to pay to use it legally?

Hai,

No. But you might have to pay to get access to it.

Hai,

OpenSS7 charges for access to its CVS archive. LiS 2.18.1 is
released under GPL. If you can get it from somewhere else you
might not have to pay.

Good luck. If you want to patch it yourself, take a look back through
the mail archive at the many posting on problems and changes.
