Indeed, the scope may seem the same as LSB but it's still different. LSB is targeted at enterprise distros (read - very stable but old libraries) while MeeGo is more on the leading edge in terms of API/ABI. Another principal difference is that LSB is POSIX-like 100% implementation neutral standard that tries to define full description of requirements for compliant systems (including textual specification of behavior of particular APIs). LSB specification is self-sufficient and does not depend on any implementation (well, if we include all the docs and standards it refers to). MeeGo specification is targeted on specifying just the public subset of interfaces of the reference implementation while leaving the behavior description to be "same as in the ref. implementation". But LSB and MeeGo spec do have much in common - both target at enabling application portability across some sets of Linux platform implementations. MeeGo Spec is like "Mobile LSB" in this sense. -- Vladimir Rubanov ISPRAS / The Linux Foundation _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
