Subject: [Libaio-oracle-devel] purpose of the libaio-oracle-0.3.0.tar.gz

Hi,

On the http://oss.oracle.com/projects/libaio-oracle/dist/files/ website there is a download for libaio-oracle-0.3.0.tar.gz.  What is the purpose of this download?  Does it replace the .rpm files needed for async io, specifically for a RH/EL 3.0 install for 10g?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve Underwood

	libaio-oracle is not needed for any Oracle install, 10g, 9i, or
otherwise. libaio-oracle is a library to provide SUSv2 AIO calls
(aio_read/aio_write/aio_return/etc) on top of Linux libaio.  9i and 10g
handle this themselves.
