 |
|
Package osr61-0.9.2.3 was released under AGPLv3 2008-10-31.
The Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 package provides STREAMS modules
and drivers, libraries, programs, init scripts, and daemons that
implement the Dialogic(R) Open System Release 6.1 drivers for Linux
Fast-STREAMS.
This is an OpenSS7 Project modified release of the GPL Dialogic(R) OSR
6.1 Release 239 drivers modified for use with Linux Fast-STREAMS.
The Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 package includes kernel modules,
SVR 4.2 STREAMS drivers, modules, libraries, utilities, test programs,
daemons, and development environment for the development and execution
of Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 components and applications for the
SVR 4.2 STREAMS environment. It provides true STREAMS-based Dialogic(R)
OSR 6.1 drivers for Linux. This is the third release from The OpenSS7
Project of the Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 package and is now part
of the OpenSS7 Master Package (openss7-0.9.2.F). This package provides
dlgn, mercd and pmacd device drivers, as well as a dvbm and sctmr
module. Additional drivers are the gncfd and gpio modules. The package
contains all the necessary manual pages and other documentation for
components in an autoconf tarball.
This release is the third public release.
Major features 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. Changed deprecated
SA_SHIRQ flag to IRQF_SHARED; use pci_register_driver() instead of
obsolete pci_module_init().
- 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 documents.
- Build system now builds yum( repositories for RPMs and
apt-get( repositories for DEBs. Installation documentation has
been updated to include details of repository install sourcesref.
- Added MODULE_VERSION to all modules and drivers.
- Build corrections for recent RHAS4 kernels that define an
irq_handler_t that takes a 3 arguments function template.
This is another public alpha release of the package. Please see
README-alpha in the release, or Maturity, in the manual.
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 osr61 package
page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.
