Package strxns-0.9.2.6 was released under GPLv2 2007-06-24.
The OpenSS7 XNS Networking package is an implementation of X/Open
Network Services (XNS 5.2) for Linux Fast-STREAMS and provides OSI
conforming CDI, DLPI and NPI header files as well as several DLPI and
NPI modules and drivers that convert between Linux Native IP interface
and the STREAMS DLPI and NPI interface. One allows DLPI drivers to be
added to Linux as IP interfaces, another provides DLPI access to
native Linux IP interfaces, and a third provides NPI access to the
Linux IP subsystem.
This is another separate release from the OpenSS7 Project of the
OpenSS7 XNS Networking package, formerly part of the (now deprecated)
Linux STREAMS (LiS) package. These networking modules provide DLPI,
NPI and Linux IP drivers, as well as providing CDI, DLPI and NPI
header files. The package contains all the necessary manual pages and
other documentation for XNS components in a separate autoconf tarball.
This release is primarily a maintenance release supporting recent
distributions and tool chains. This release is a stable production
release for Linux Fast-STREAMS.
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 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 strxns package page <http://www.openss7.org/strxns_pkg.html>.
