Costs money that a lot of groups can't afford as they have no money and no donations either...so why should there be a LSB compliance standard when it is NOT freely available; HTML is a standard for the Web and it is FREELY available -- you don't see the W3C charging money do you?!?!

Compliance *is* easily and freely accessible - today. We're about to update the Testing FAQ with the patches needed to make a glibc 2.2.5 + kernel 2.4.18 "sample implementation" (built from upstream tarballs + very minimal patches) pass all the tests. All the "sample implementation" bits are available in the LSB CVS tree (see www.linuxbase.org and follow the links to the CVS tree). The sample is built following the model of the Linux From Scratch project. The current FAQ already has most of what's needed to achieve this goal. Current CVS glibc plus kernel 2.4.19 already incorporates nearly all of the small set of patches needed relative to glibc 2.2.4 + kernel 2.4.18. We continue to try to push the required patches back to the upstream maintainers. The certification logo is just a step further, designed to give confidence to those folks that need the extra reassurance of an independent impartial audit of the compliance claims. That extra step consts some money to achieve. ---- End Original Message ---- Michael Lauzon Founder & Lead Project Manager InceptionOS Project http://www.sf.net/projects/max linux/ [email protected] For the coolest stuff on the web visit http://www.jmm.ca ____________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE Web and POP E-mail Service in 14 languages at http://www.zzn.com. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with subject of "unsubscribe".
