 Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 10:35 pm Post subject: sigtran 0.9.2.4 Released - OpenSS7 SIGTRAN and SS7 over IP |
 |
|
Package sigtran-0.9.2.4 was released under AGPLv3 2008-10-31.
The OpenSS7 STREAMS SIGTRAN 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 SIGTRAN applications for the SVR 4.2 STREAMS environment.
This package contains modules and drivers formerly only part of the
Commercial releases of the strss7 package. These are commercial grade
implementations that have only recently been released as open source.
The public release currently contains the following STREAMS drivers and
modules:
- streams-m2pa_sl m2pa_sl(4)
- streams-m2ua_as m2ua_as(4)
- streams-m3ua_as m3ua_as(4)
- streams-sdl_sctp sdl_sctp(4)
- streams-sdt_sctp sdt_sctp(4)
- streams-sdt_tpi sdt_tpi(4)
- streams-sl_tpi sl_tpi(4)
This is the fourth open source release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS SIGTRAN
package. This release contains modules and drivers formerly only
available with Commercial releases of the strss7 package and which are
only recently available as open source with the release of this package.
With OpenSS7 Master Package release openss7-0.9.2.D, the SIGTRAN and SS7
over IP components were separated from the strss7 package and placed in
this package. Not all of the SIGTRAN components previously part of the
strss7 package have been strapped into this release. Components will be
re-validated against Linux Fast-STREAMS on a module-by-module and
driver-by-driver basis. See TODO in the release, or Schedule, in the
manual, for information about the release schedule.
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.
- 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.
- Added SG (Signalling Gateway) project document.
This is a stable, production grade release of M2PA for Linux
Fast-STREAMS. It deprecates previous SIGTRAN component releases from
this and the strss7 packages. Please upgrade to the most current release
of these components 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 sigtran package
page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.
