Re: Re: OpenSS7 GPL'd LiS.

Dave,

Thank you.  I don't see that LiS-2.18.1 can cause confusion as
there is no other LiS-2.18.1 release.

If anyone else is willing to step up and maintain LiS releases
in the near future and needs these version numbers, please speak
now.

I certainly cannot force anyone to use a release, however, I'm
pretty sure it will get used by some: the GPL'ed LiS-2.16.18-19
and strxnet-0.9.2-4 are downloaded 20 times a day.

Also realize that at present my intention is to drop support for
LiS the moment that Linux Fast-STREAMS is production grade and
replaces LiS, at which time LiS can go back to being completely
unsupported.

BTW, the name for the Linux Fast-STREAMS package is currently
streams-0.7a.3.
