Package strtty-0.9.2.3 was released under GPLv2 2007-06-24.
The OpenSS7 STREAMS Terminals package provides STREAMS modules and
drivers, libraries, programs, init scripts, and daemons that implement
the classical SVR 4 Terminal Subsystem.
The OpenSS7 STREAMS Terminals 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 Terminals components and applications for the SVR
4.2 STREAMS environment. It provides true STREAMS-based
Pseudo-Terminals for Linux.
This is the third separate release from The OpenSS7 Project of the
OpenSS7 STREAMS Terminals package. This package provides pts and ptm
pseudo-terminal drivers, as well as an ldterm module. Additional
modules are the ptem, ttcompat and pckt modules. The package contains
all the necessary manual pages and other documentation for terminal
and pseudo-terminal components in a separate autoconf tarball.
This release is a maintenance release providing support for recent
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. 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>.
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,
