Package sctp-0.2.27 was released under AGPLv3 2008-10-31.
The OpenSS7 Linux Native SCTP package is the OpenSS7 Linux Native
(Sockets) Kernel implementation of Stream Control Transmission Protocol
(SCTP). For information on using the implementation see sctp(7) Linux
manual page and look at the test programs in sctp-0.2.27/test/.
This is the twenty-seventh release of the Linux Native (Sockets) SCTP
from the OpenSS7 Project. This release, as with other releases, on
builds and installs on 2.4 kernels. This package is not as important to
the OpenSS7 Project as the STREAMS version of SCTP, which provides the
basis for all of the SIGTRAN components for the OpenSS7 stacks. Also,
the STREAMS version runs on both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
This is a stable production release: it deprecates previous releases.
Please upgrade to the current release before reporting bugs.
This is primarily a maintenance release correcting reported bugs, but
also includes the latest packaging improvements.
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.
- Ability to strap out major documentation build and installation
primarily for embedded targets.
- Improvements to common build process for embedded and
cross-compile targets.
- 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.
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 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
