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

Hi Al,

Can you push the changes and tag from the -5 upload, please?

And could you try to move the package on salsa from your personal
namespace to the 'debian' or 'hpc-team' namespace? (I think that should
be Settings -> General -> Advanced -> Transfer project, but I have never
used it.) There is no need to do an upload to update the Vcs URLs.

Thanks,

Andreas, who might adopt it for the HPC team

Howdy, Andreas.

I tried to transfer the package but the only namespace I was able to
enter was my own.  I can't tell if that's the way the other namespaces
are set up or just operator error on my part -- either way, salsa
won't let me.  Sorry :(.
