OpenSS7

The OpenSS7 Master Package is not released as often as the sub-packages. As sub-packages are released more often, to rebuild the master package with a new sub-package release, simply replace the directory to which the sub-package belongs with the unpacked sub-package release and then rebuild the master package. This release provides support for recent distributions and tool Chains.
