ZST API
Azul Zing System Tools Versioning and Naming Conventions
Table of Contents
Azul Zing System Tools (ZST) installation packages are available from the Azul Platform Prime Customer Downloads page and are only available to Azul customers.
This document provides more insight into the version numbering and naming conventions used for ZST.
Versioning Scheme
The numbers in the ZST package name contain information about which different environments and kernels a ZST package supports.
| Part | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
The ZST API version. |
|
|
|
The supported Linux kernel version in format |
|
|
The ZST release version in format |
|
|
The build number = the number of times this version of the software has been built and packaged. |
|
|
Optional CKMS build number. When present, the package has support for newer kernels while there are no ZST code changes. |
Bundle Name Convention
RPM Packages
The ZST version number has the following structure for rpm packages:
<NAME>-<ZST API>.<KERNEL A.B.C>-<VERSION A.B.C.D>.<BUILD>.<CKMS>.<DISTRIBUTION>.<ARCHITECTURE>.<PACKAGE>
To explain both the RPM and DEB packages uniformly in this document, we don’t follow the exact naming used in the RPM specification (see RPM File Naming Convention for more information).
This is the link between the naming used in this document and the RPM specification:
| Prime | RPM |
|---|---|
<NAME> |
name |
<ZST API>.<KERNEL A.B.C> |
version |
<VERSION A.B.C.D>.<BUILD>.<CKMS> |
release |
<DISTRIBUTION>.<ARCHITECTURE> |
architecture |
