Brutus downloads

Here you can find anything you need for using Brutus.

Status

Brutus is for all pratical purposes done. The server implementations would like some beating and debugging but the IDL files are all ready for general consumption, i.e. client development. Small changes might happen though, as issues are bound to pop up when exposed to a multitude of different IDL compilers and uses.

We strongly recommend that you start your client development efforts now, rather than later.

Version numbering

All released files follow a version numbering scheme like the Linux kernel. So if we are looking at version x.y.z then it means that stable releases are designated with even y. Any incrementation of z for a stable release is a bugfix or sample code changes. Interface changes will allways require odd y, even when they are bugfixes only.

Which files do I need?

Brutus was previously distributed in two parts, the IDL files and the server implementation. It proved awkward to distribute two parts when they where so dependent of each other, so Brutus is now distributed as one package only.

Before installing Brutus Server you will need to ensure that Extended MAPI is installed on your Brutus Server host. Please download and install MAPI from this location. You may now install Brutus Server.

• Source code Brutus 1.0.1 source code (tar.bz2).
• Brutus Server Precompiled Brutus Server for Microsoft Windows. This is the installation program for Brutus Server. It will install the latest Brutus Server on Windows 2000 and later versions. You will need the enterprise version of Brutus Server if you want easy integration with Lorica.

You must also download and build TAO if you plan on testing Brutus Server from source. You do not need TAO unless you intend on building Brutus Server. TAO is the CORBA implementation that is used by the Brutus server implementation.
