2. Project Summary
   2.1 Project Description

       This project introduces the package of konkretcmpi 0.8.7 
       into the SFW consolidation.

4. Technical Description:

   KonkretCMPI is an opensource tool for rapidly developing CMPI 
   (Common Manageability Programming Interface) providers in C. 
   Developers using KonkretCMPI have several advantages. It generates 
   concrete type-safe C interfaces for manipulating CIM elements. It
   provides complete default implementations for many provider operations. 
   Supplies convenience functions for working with CMPI. It generates the 
   initial CMPI provider skeletons from MOF (Managed Object Format). It 
   builds on CMPI rather than introducing a new provider interface. It does 
   not impose run-time library dependencies. The footprint of the providers 
   produced is small. Also the development effort is greatly reduced. 

   KonkretCMPI has recently released a newer version 0.8.7 in Oct 2008. 
   Its earlier version 0.8.6 was released in August 2008.

   Command name   Notes

   The SUNWkonkretcmpi package has build time dependency on the CMPI headers 
   provided by the SUNWcimserveru package. Though SUNWkonkretcmpi does not 
   have a direct runtime dependency on SUNWcimserveru and SUNWcimserverr 
   packages, the end users who use the SUNWkonkretcmpi binaries would require 
   the SUNWcimserveru and SUNWcimserverr packages to use the generated code.
