Application Version Compliance (AVC) Tool

Intel® validates a Basic Office Automation application stack with this release of Intel® Quick Start Kit for Linux*.  You can use the AVC Tool to ensure that the versions of applications installed on a desktop system are the same versions that have been validated for various distributions with respect to each desktop board.  

 

You can also use this tool to supply technical support to system integrators and OEMs.  For example, if a problem is reported with any application contained in the Basic Office Automation application suite, you can use the tool to rule out the possibility of an unsupported version of the application on the system.  

 

For more information on the Intel® Application Version Compliance (AVC) tool see http://www.intel.com/go/linux.

 

To use the tool execute the appver.sh script from the command line.  Once you start the script, the tool reports any non-compliance in application versions with respect to baseline versions.  If all the application versions and their dependent packages are found to be the correct versions, the script reports that all the application versions are correct and no problem was found.  

 

The following command starts the tool:

 

./appver.sh

 

If the script does not encounter any non-compliance issues, a report similar to the following appears at the screen:

 

[danke@dvk-rhs testpark]$ ./appver.sh

appver 1.0 Intel(R) Quick Start Kit for Linux Release 1.0

Checking versions and dependencies for Basic Office Automation applications.

Please wait...................Done.

Success!

The Basic Office Automation packages are installed with correct versions.

 

If the script does encounter a non-compliant version of an application, the script reports a message indicating the non-compliant application and suggests a remedy.  For example, the following report  indicates that there is a non-compliance for the Real Player* and Evolution* applications:

 

dkeskar@dvklinwin:~/proj> ./appver.sh

appver 1.0 Intel(R) Quick Start Kit for Linux Release 1.0

Checking versions and dependencies for Basic Office Automation applications.

Please wait..................Done.
