If anyone has ever tried to run a gnutella gwebcache, they've probably noticed about 8-10 requests a second. And it increases during high-usage hours. This makes it useless to run cgi-based scripts unless you have a super-powerful database and web server. Since the usefulness of such scripts has gone to practically 0, they are no longer maintained upstream and I recommend the removal of them from portage. The following packages headed for the guillotine are:
net-p2p/phpgnucacheii net-p2p/gwebcache net-p2p/perlgcache The recommended package for anyone wanting to support the gnutella network is net-p2p/ghostwhitecrab, which is its own built-in server. Ghostwhitecrab will continue to be maintained both upstream and in portage. If someone would like to save these packages from a gruesome death, speak now. If not, I'll post another message to gentoo-dev right before the massacre, and everyone's welcome to join #gentoo-commits to watch the gore. -Jon -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
