Package strisdn-0.9.2.3 was released under GPLv2 2007-06-24.
OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN (strisdn) is an OpenSS7 Project implementation of
a number of ISDN related components, including Q.920, Q.921, Q.931,
GR-303, V5.2, DPNSS/DASS. The package includes kernel modules, SVR 4.2
STREAMS drivers, modules, libraries, utilities, test programs,
daemons, and development environment for the development and execution
of OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN applications for the SVR 4.2 STREAMS
environment.
This release is the third separate release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN
package. Some of the components in this package were formerly present
in the strss7 package. Various networking drivers are provided as well
as CDI, DLPI, NPI, TPI and CCI header files for ISDN operation. The
package contains the necessary manual pages and other documentation
for ISDN components in a separate autoconf tarball.
The OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN package includes kernel modules, SVR 4.2
STREAMS drivers, modules, libraries, utilities, test programs,
daemons, and development environment for the development and execution
of OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN applications for the SVR 4.2 STREAMS
environment.
This is the third open source release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN
package. This release contains modules and drivers formerly only
available with Commercial releases of the strss7 package and which are
only recently available as open source with the release of this
package.
With OpenSS7 Master Package release openss7-0.9.2.D, the ISDN
components were separated from the strss7 package and placed in this
package. Not all of the ISDN components previously part of the strss7
package have been strapped into this release. Components will be
re-validated against Linux Fast-STREAMS on a module-by-module and
driver-by-driver basis. See TODO in the release, or Schedule, in the
manual, for information about the release schedule.
The major component first available is LAPD. lapd(4) is a pushable
STREAMS module that is pushed over a cdi(4) HDLC channel to form an
ISDN Q.931 link providing the Data Link Provider Interface (dlpi(7)).
A complete test suite will be available in a further release.
Subsequent releases in 4Q 2007 will include the additional full ISDN
Q.931, Q.933, GR-303 and V5.2 drivers with conformance test suites.
This package is currently incomplete. It is being released as a
reference point for the community. If you are interested in completion
of this package, contact <mailto:***@openss7.com>. This is a
maintenance release providing support for additional distributions and
tool chains.
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 with 2.6.21 kernel.
- 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 alpha release of the package. Please see README-alpha
in the release.
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 strisdn package page <http://www.openss7.org/strisdn_pkg.html>.
See <http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strisdn-0.9.2.3/ChangeLog> and
<http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strisdn-0.9.2.3/NEWS> in the release
for more information. Also, see the `strisdn.pdf' manual in the
release, also in html <http://www.openss7.org/strisdn_manual.html>.
