Circa 2003-01-12 16:46:37 -0800 dixit Jack Cummings: : : Hello, : : I'm looking to sent a letter to our software vendors, asking them to : snap to supporting a version of the LSB, as opposed to a version of : a particular Linux distrobution. : : Any recomendations? Any samples? Vendors need specific information about how to build software that conforms to the LSB. The spec itself is not enough; a clear, precise, HOWTO-type document is needed. If additional software is necessary---an LSB build environment, for example---then it should be easily available in one spot, with clear instructions on how to install and use it. Additionally, a concise explanation of what kinds of software could or could not be made to conform to the LSB is needed: ISVs who make drivers, KDE or GNOME programs, or software that uses Python or Java may not be able to make their software conform to the LSB without a large amount of additional effort (e.g., supplying LSB-compatible KDE or GNOME libraries or a complete Python interpreter along with the product). It's my opinion that you'll get more mileage out of helping vendors to become LSB-conformant rather than merely asking them to....
