* Package name : tsn-scripts Version : 0.8 Upstream Author : Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.olt...@nxp.com> * URL : https://github.com/vladimiroltean/tsn-scripts * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : Tool set for Time Sensitive Networking testing The tsn-scripts project contains the isochron program, a real-time application for testing Time Sensitive Networking equipment. It works by monitoring the network synchronization status and sending time-triggered Ethernet packets. It has a server-client architecture and it measures network latency by taking multiple timestamps (some hardware, some software) along the path of the packets. It has been tested by me on x86_64, armv7 and armv8 systems, but care has been taken for format interoperability with big endian systems such as PowerPC. The isochron program is mainly used in system testing, and there is a desire to integrate it in the kselftest framework of the Linux kernel, where it will constitute the basis for future TSN selftests of equipment from various vendors. There is no existing program known to me that serves this role. During review of the kernel selftests it was pointed out that for users it may be desirable for isochron to be distributed by Debian: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220428204839.1720129-1-vladimir.olt...@nxp.com/#24838122 This is my first Intent To Package. I am the upstream maintainer of the project, would like to be the maintainer of the Debian package as well, and would need a sponsor and mentor to help with review and walk me through the packaging process. I am flexible in making changes to the upstream project if this makes Debian packaging easier. In fact, in expectation of changes to come, I've marked "v0.8" as the version of the software to package, as opposed to the currently latest "v0.7".
