While adding a normative statement reference in chapter one for
specifications, I noticed the section on "related implementations" where
mention is made of the following:
* BSD BSD 4.4 Lite version 2 (no URL)
We really should get a URL for this.... anyone know of a stable
one off-hand. Also, these functions should probably get
documented first when we start the LSB 1.1 effort, since I'm
concerned about "code drift"; it's been a long time since BSD
4.4 Lite, and the library interfaces may have changed in subtle
ways since then.
* GNU/Linux defacto standard http://www.gnu.org/
This is a bit too broad; if we mean "glibc" or "bash" we should
say so, and then specify exaclty which version we mean.
I'd also just as soon avoid the whole GNU/Linux vs. Linux
religious argument if at all possible. Note that as far as I
can tell although baselib/libc lists "GNU/Linux defacto
standard", none of the symbols actually reference the footnote
number corresponding to it, at least on the verison that's
currently up at www.linuxbase.org. The only place that
referenes this is setresgid/setresuid in the usergroups
section.
* RPC & XDR RFC 1831 & 1832 http://www.ietf.org
This reference is certainly wrong, since it's not an API
reference and never pretended to be. We should probably
reference the comp.source.misc Sun posting of SunRPC, or just
simply reference a specific glibc version for now, since that's
what we're actually using.
