OSDL and Bull Cooperate on Open Source POSIX Test Suite

Open Source Development Labs, Inc. has announced cooperation with Bull on the Open POSIX Test Suite (OPTS). "OPTS is an open source community project designed to make it easier to port applications from other POSIX platforms to Linux. POSIX is a widely-used standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) that promotes portability among operating systems, primarily UNIX operating systems such as AIX, HP-UX and Solaris. In addition to making significant test contributions to the OPTS project, Bull led the effort to integrate the tests into STP to enable POSIX-compliance feedback in a manner that is timely to Linux/OSS developers."
