OSS FLOSS
HP introduces support for Freeware Look for OSS (FLOSS). FLOSS is a set of commands and
libraries that aid in porting packages to NonStop systems. The FLOSS package is required only if
you are porting a software package to NonStop systems. See the FLOSS on NonStop User Manual
for more information.
Migration Considerations
Installation of one version overwrites the previous version installed on the system. Before installing
the other version, you have to back up the previous version of the FLOSS package installed at the
/usr/local directory, if required.
Fallback Considerations
To revert to a previous version of FLOSS, back up the current version, if required, and install the
previous version.
