* Package name : breakin Version : 3.20 Upstream Author : Jason D. Clinton <m...@jasonclinton.com>, Kyle Sheumaker <ksheuma...@advancedclustering.com> * URL : http://www.advancedclustering.com/software/breakin.html * License : GPL2 Programming Lang: C Description : stress-test and hardware diagnostics tool Breakin is Advanced Clustering's stress-test and hardware diagnostics tool. Advanced Clustering engineers developed breakin because no other available product — commercial or open source — could pinpoint hardware issues and component failures as well as they wanted. = Packaging notes = The software is split into two main parts: the "breakin" software, which is a fairly self-contained C program with affiliated scripts which runs on boot up, and the "bootimage" distribution, which is a custom Linux distribution that is built from the ground up. I believe that the "breakin" part should be made into a Debian package, and the "bootimage" part should be discarded or made into a "debirf" extension. The dependencies of breakin are unclear, but the bootimage build scripts build the following parts: anarcat@desktop006:bootimage$ ls srcctrl/ actdmi dropbear htop lvm2 parted syslinux wget afio e2fsprogs initfs mcelog pciutils tcpdump arecacli edac-utils ipmitool mdadm rsync terminfo bonnie++ ethtool kernel mdinfo screen udev breakin hddtemp links mstflint smartmontools udpcast busybox hpl lm-sensors numactl stream util-linux A lot of those are available in Debian already, except: actdmi arecacli breakin hpl initfs kernel mdinfo stream terminfo Specific assessment should be done on those dependencies. I am interested in packaging the "breakin" part, but my time is limited and would appreciate any help. I can sponsor a package too, and will try to inform upstream of our efforts. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
