Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-05-31 Severity: normal pchar is no longer being actively developed upstream, I do not have time to deal with its bugs, and there are several similar tools in Debian already. If no one steps forward to adopt it, I will request that it be removed from Debian.
The package description is: pchar is a reimplementation of the pathchar utility, written by Van Jacobson. Both programs attempt to characterize the bandwidth, latency, and loss of links along an end-to-end path through the Internet. pchar works in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. -- System Information: Debian Release: unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux mizar 2.4.20-evms2-usbnet-skas-4 #1 Sat Apr 19 23:10:48 EDT 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US -- - mdz
