Package strinet-0.9.2.7 was released under AGPLv3 2008-10-31.
The OpenSS7 INET Networking package is an implementation of the Internet
Protocol suite for Linux Fast-STREAMS directly over Linux NET4 Sockets
implementation, using a STREAMS over Sockets approach. This permits
modules to be pushed on UDP or TCP Streams and allows use of the XTI/TLI
library with Internet Protocols on Linux. The package now also includes
direct STREAMS implementations of RAW IP and UDP, and will include
direct implementations of TI loop-back devices and TCP in the future.
This OpenSS7 Project release is another separate add-on package release
of the OpenSS7 INET Networking package that was formerly present in the
(now deprecated) LiS package. The networking drivers are provided, as
well as the TPI and XTI header files for INET and loop-back operation.
The package contains all the necessary manual packages and other
documentation for INET components in a separate 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).
This release is primarily a maintenance release to support recent
distributions and tool chains.
Major features since the last public release are as follows:
- 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.
- Handle tcp_push_pending_frames() with fewer arguments and new
sk_buff format (offsets and TRANSPORT_HEADER).
- 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.
- This release contains a significant rework of the inet(4) driver.
The driver is now instrumented using the mi_strlog(9) function and
uses Mentat Portable STREAMS compatability functions extensively.
The driver has been validated over a wider range of kernels and
distributions on SMP machines. This driver will no longer work
with the long deprecated LiS and, with this release, is
exclusively for use with Linux Fast-STREAMS. Please see BUGS in
the release, or Bugs in the manual, to see which bugs this rework
addressed
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 strinet package
page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.
