strcompat-0.9.2.3 was released under GPLv2 on March 15, 2006. The STREAMS Compatibility Modules package provides the ability for both Linux Fast-STREAMS and the deprecated Linux STREAMS (LiS) to exhibit source level compatibility with a wide range of UNIX STREAMS implementations. Also, it provides source compatibility with Linux Fast-STREAMS for Lis, and LiS (source and some 2.18.0 binary) compatibility for Linux Fast-STREAMS. The objective of the package is to provide source level compatibility with a wide range of UNIX STREAMS implementations permitting drivers and modules to port easily to Linux Fast-STREAMS from any other STREAMS implementation, making it possible to release drivers and modules from a single UNIX code base with minimal localisms for Linux.
This is the OpenSS7 Project's third separate release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS Compatibility Modules that were formerly present in the Linux Fast-STREAMS streams-0.7a.2 release package. These compatibility modules provide source level compatibility with AIX, HPUX, OSF/1, MacOT, Mentat, SUX, Solaris, SUPER/UX, IRIX, LiS, UnixWare, UXP/V and SVR 4.2 STREAMS. The package contains all the necessary manual pages and other documentation in an autoconf tarball. This release is primarily to support additional compilers (gcc 4.0.2), architectures (x86_64, SMP, 32-bit compatibility), recent Linux distributions (EL4, SuSE 10, LE2006, OpenSuSE) and kernels (2.6.15). It includes: - Corrections for and testing of 64-bit clean compile and test runs on x86_64 architecture. Some bug corrections resulting from gcc 4.0.2 compiler warnings. - Changes to satisfy gcc 4.0.2 compiler. - Corrected build flags for Gentoo and 2.6.15 kernels as reported on mailing list. - Initial corrections for and testing of SMP operation on Intel 630 Hyper-Threaded SMP on x86_64. This package should now run well on N-way Xeons even with Hyper-Threading enabled. - Corrections and validation of 32-bit compatibility over 64-bit on x86_64. Should apply well to other 64-bit architectures as well. This is public beat test release of the package: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade before reporting bugs on previous releases. As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles, installs and builds rpms for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 RPM-based distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel. This package is released under the 'GNU Public License Version 2'. The release is available as an autoconf/RPM tarball, SRPM and set of binary RPMs. See the download page <http://www.openss7.org/download.html> for the autoconf tarballs and SRPMs. See the strcompat package page at <http://www.openss7.org/strcompat_pkg.html> for tarballs, SRPMs and binary RPMs. See <http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strcompat-0.9.2.3/ChangeLog> and <http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strcompat-0.9.2.3/NEWS> in the release for more information.
