Package strxnet-0.9.2.12 was released under AGPLv3 2008-10-31.
The OpenSS7 XTI/TLI Networking package for Linux Fast-STREAMS is an
implementation of the X/Open Transport Interface or SVID Transport Layer
Interface library in accordance with SUSv2 and XNS 5.2 standards. It
consists of user-space libraries (libxnet) and a set of cooperating
STREAMS modules (timod(4) and tirdwr(4)). The STREAMS module, timod(4),
is pushed on any Stream implementing the Transport Provider Interface
(TPI) Revision 1.5 or 2.0.0 service interface and provides XTI/TLI
library access to the transport provider. Definitions for the Transport
Provider Interface (TPI) Revision 2.0.0 are also provided by header
files included in the package.
This OpenSS7 Project release is another separate release of the OpenSS7
XTI/TLI Networking that were formerly part of the strinet package. These
networking modules provide TPI and XTI/TLI library, as well as providing
TPI and XTI header files. The package contains all the necessary manual
pages and other documentation, including a reprint of the TPI 1.5
specification, for XTI components. The package is packaged as an OpenSS7
style 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.G).
This release is primarily a maintenance release to support recent
distributions and tool chains.
Major features since the last public release are as follows:
- Added ability of XTI library to pass additional flags when sending
and receiving data for XTI(XX25) implementation.
- Minor documentation corrections.
- Kernel module license made explicit GPL v2. And then changed back
to GPL.
- License upgrade to AGPL Version 3.
- Modifications to build under Fedora 2.6.22.5-49 kernel. These
changes also support 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 kernel.
- Ability to strap out major documentation build and installation
primarily for embedded targets.
- Improvements to common build process for embedded and
cross-compile targets.
- Modifications to build under Fedora 2.6.25-45.fc9 and
2.6.26.5-45.fc9 kernels.
- Updated tool chain to m4-1.4.12, autoconf-2.63 and texinfo-4.13.
- Conversion of RPM spec files to common approach for major
subpackages.
- Updated references database for manual pages and roff(1)
documents.
- Build system now builds yum(8) repositories for RPMs and
apt-get(8) repositories for DEBs. Installation documentation has
been updated to include details of repository install sourcesref.
- Added MODULE_VERSION to all modules and drivers.
- Several important bug fixes for thread safety of the socket
library: see BUGS in the release, or Bugs in the manual, for more
information.
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 Affero General Public
License (AGPL) Version 3. 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 strxnet package
page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.
