Bug#666221: RFS: bwctl/1.3-1 [ITP] -- bandwidth test controller

2012-03-30 Thread Ansgar Burchardt
Hi,

[ I have no intention to sponsor this package. ]

   but upstream is apparently changing to apache license in
   upcoming release of bwctl

Then it should not go to main. See [1] how to change this in the source
package.

  bwctl-client - bandwidth test controller (client)
  bwctl-doc  - documentation for bandwidth test controller
  bwctl-server - bandwidth test controller (server)
  i2util-tools - internet2 utilities
  libbwlib-dev - bandwidth test controller (development)
  libi2util-dev - internet2 utility library (development)
  libthrulay-dev - network capacity tester (development)
  libthrulay0 - network capacity tester (runtime)
  thrulay-client - network capacity tester (client)
  thrulay-server - network capacity tester (server)

Is it really necessary to split this in so many packages?

Regards,
Ansgar

Bug#666221: RFS: bwctl/1.3-1 [ITP] -- bandwidth test controller

2012-03-29 Thread Raoul Borenius
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package bwctl

* Package name: bwctl
  Version : 1.3-1
  Upstream Author : Jeff Boote bo...@internet2.edu,
Aaron Brown aa...@internet2.edu
* URL : http://www.internet2.edu/performance/bwctl/
* License : custom license which is not considered free (see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2012/02/msg4.html)
but upstream is apparently changing to apache license in
upcoming release of bwctl
  Section : net

 It builds those binary packages:

 bwctl-client - bandwidth test controller (client)
 bwctl-doc  - documentation for bandwidth test controller
 bwctl-server - bandwidth test controller (server)
 i2util-tools - internet2 utilities
 libbwlib-dev - bandwidth test controller (development)
 libi2util-dev - internet2 utility library (development)
 libthrulay-dev - network capacity tester (development)
 libthrulay0 - network capacity tester (runtime)
 thrulay-client - network capacity tester (client)
 thrulay-server - network capacity tester (server)

 To access further information about this package, please visit the
 following URL:

 http://mentors.debian.net/package/bwctl

 Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

 dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/bwctl/bwctl_1.3-1.dsc

 More information about bwctl can be obtained from
 http://www.internet2.edu/performance/bwctl/.

 It would be very helpful for the european NREN community if bwctl could
 be included into the upcoming stable release because some software projects
 are making heavy use of it.

 Changes since the last upload:

 Initial release (Closes: #662849)

 Regards,
   Raoul Gunnar Borenius
