Package strcompat-0.9.2.6 was released under GPLv2 2007-06-24.
The OpenSS7 STREAMS Compatibility package provides the ability for
Linux Fast-STREAMS to exhibit source level compatibility with a wide
range of UNIX STREAMS implementations. Also, it provides LiS source,
and some 2.18.0 binary, compatibility for Linux Fast-STREAMS. The
objective of the package is to provide source level compatibility with
a wide range of UNIX STREAMS implementations permitting drivers and
modules to port easily to Linux Fast-STREAMS from any other STREAMS
implementation, making it possible to release drivers and modules from
a single UNIX code base with minimal localisms for Linux.
This is the sixth separate OpenSS7 Project release of the OpenSS7
STREAMS Compatibility package. The package was originally present in
the Linux Fast-STREAMS streams-0.7a.2 release package, but has been
separated for six releases. These compatibility modules provide source
level compatibility with AIX, HPUX, OSF/1, MacOT, Mentat, SUX,
Solaris, SUPER/UX, IRIX, LiS, UnixWare, UXP/V and SVR 4.2 STREAMS. The
package contains all the necessary manual pages and other
documentation in an autoconf tarball.
This release is a stable, production grade release for Linux
Fast-STREAMS and is part of the OpenSS7 Master Package
(openss7-0.9.2.F). It deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade
before reporting bugs on previous releases.
This release is primarily a maintenance release.
Major features since the last public release are as follows:
- Dramatic performance improvements enabled by Linux Fast-STREAMS.
- Support build on openSUSE 10.2.
- Support build on Fedora 7 and 2.6.21 kernel.
- Rework of mi_timer(9) based timers with the addition of several
new helper functions. Enhancements and minor corrections to some
OpenSS7 specific compatibility functions.
- Support build on CentOS 5.0 (RHEL5).
- Support build on Ubuntu 7.04.
- Updated to gettext 0.16.1.
- Changes to support build on 2.6.20-1.2307.fc5 and
2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 kernel.
- Supports build on Fedora Core 6.
- Support for recent distributions and tool chains.
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 strcompat package page <http://www.openss7.org/strcompat_pkg.html>.
See <http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strcompat-0.9.2.6/ChangeLog> and
<http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strcompat-0.9.2.6/NEWS> in the
release for more information. Also, see the strcompat.pdf manual in
