Bug 233215 – iperf 2.02 out of date

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jeff Waller 2008-07-28 22:24:47 UTC]

The iperf ebuild uses iperf 2.0.2 and gets the source code
from http://dast.nlanr.net/Projects/Iperf.  This is no longer
the most up-to-date source or for that matter the right 
website.  The project has moved to sourceforge, and the
latest version is 2.0.4.  Whereas 2.0.2 is ca 2005, 2.0.4 
was released in 2008.  I've attached a new (tested) ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
