 |
|
Package strisdn-0.9.2.4 was released under AGPLv3 2008-10-31.
OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN (strisdn) is an OpenSS7 Project implementation of a
number of ISDN related components, including Q.920, Q.921, Q.931,
GR-303, V5.2, DPNSS/DASS. The 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 ISDN applications for the SVR 4.2 STREAMS environment.
This release is the fourth separate release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN
package. Some of the components in this package were formerly present in
the strss7 package. Various networking drivers are provided as well as
CDI, DLPI, NPI, TPI and CCI header files for ISDN operation. The package
contains the necessary manual pages and other documentation for ISDN
components in a separate autoconf tarball.
The OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN 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 ISDN applications for the SVR 4.2 STREAMS environment.
This is the fourth open source release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN
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 ISDN components
were separated from the strss7 package and placed in this package. Not
all of the ISDN 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.
This is a maintenance release providing support for additional
distributions and tool chains.
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.
This is a public alpha release of the package. Please see README-alpha
in the release.
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 strisdn package
page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.
