Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: da...@debian.org Control: affects -1 src:lmbench
I intend to orphan the lmbench package. I no longer use it, and have not for quite some time, and no longer have the time to maintain it properly. Upstream seems to be static (perhaps reasonably so for a benchmark) but we have cleaned up things a bit over the years. Cleaned up most of the lintian issues on the last update, too, but there are still a couple of minor bugs left. The package description is: Lmbench is a set of utilities to test the performance of a unix system producing detailed results as well as providing tools to process them. It includes a series of micro benchmarks that measure some basic operating system and hardware metrics: . * file reading and summing * memory bandwidth while reading, writing and copying * copying data through pipes * copying data through Unix sockets * reading data through TCP/IP sockets
