  Description     : The userland library and utilities for accessing and manipulating web100 TCP/IP instrumentation

The Web100 software implements a set of instruments in the TCP/IP stack
of an operating system.  The software is divided in two pieces:
- A patch to the Linux kernel, which collects the data, and...
- A library and a set of utilities (the userland), for accessing and
  manipulating these instruments.
This package provides both the library and utilities.

Which isn't applied in Debian's kernel packages, making this a bit
useless to Debian users in general.

I'm guessing this could be replaced using kprobes or some higher-level
tracing framework.

It's a build dependency for another proposed package (ndt) which provides
binary clients that are useful for Debian users wanting to test their
network performance.

OK, then please make it clear in the binary package description what it
provides and anything it requires outside of package dependencies.  From
your explanation and the description at
<http://software.internet2.edu/ndt/>, it sounds like you're packaging
the client code while only the server side would need that patch.

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging web100-userland. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of web100-userland from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging web100-userland, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 728808 ITP: web100-userland -- The userland library and utilities for accessing and manipulating web100 TCP/IP instrumentation
 owner 728808 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <728808@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

The link mentioned in this RFP does not work anymore. I am closing this
RFP now. In case the software is still maintained and needed in Debian,
please file a new RFP.
