Life Easier For Linux Makers
New products released Monday by the Linux Foundation will likely make life easier for software makers and promote further adoption of open-source software.
The foundation, a nonprofit consortium dedicated to the growth of Linux, updated the Linux Standard Base, a set of programming standards that ensure applications are compatible with the Linux operating system. The LSB helps developers target multiple versions of the system with just one software package. The foundation also created a new testing toolkit, a suite of software that makes it easier for developers to ensure their products work with both old and new versions of Linux.
All this could shorten the amount of time, and reduce the cost, involved in bringing new open-source software to market—especially good news for startups.
“All the moving parts are coming together to give the Linux ecosystem its first testing framework that will coordinate development of upstream code to standards and downstream implementations,” said Linux Foundation director Jim Zemlin in a release.
