Hi, I am trying to evaluate the difference between LSB and POSIX specification. I need some info around that. I am basically looking for answers to two of my questions. 1. Is the LSB specified API set same as that of POSIX API set? 2. Can lsbcc detect and report an error, if I use any of non-POSIX APIs in my application? Thanks -Nitin

There's been some discussions on the weekly LSB call about how far we should go in terms using a very careful system of protecting the OpenPGP keys that we use for signing the packages that we release. Some have gone as far as to say that we should use a hardware solution, much like Red Hat has done for signing their packages. For more information about what they did, it's instructive to read Mark Cox's description of what he implemented, here: http://www.awe.com/mark/blog/200701300906.html What did he do, specifically?

Kay Tate, Jiri Dluhos, Ted Tso, Jesper Thomschultz, Alan Clark, Alexey Khoroshilov, Brian Proffitt, Russ Herrold, Robert Schweikert, George Kraft, Dalibor Topic. LSB 4.0 status. Jeff: olver core tests? Alexey: investigating the issues. If we see lots of failures, should be OK; there are a number of test cases that are only slightly different. Usually, we aggregate those into a single failure when they're related. If new things come up, they won't be aggregated, so may take some analysis.
