it's amazing we don't yet have a unixbench ebuild. let's add one. it could be a good way to help users display performance increases for proprly tuned gentoo vs other systems Reproducible: Always
Why didn't you provide a link to the unixbench sourcecode? After a while of googling I finally found a site which seems to provide some not that outdated versions of unixbench (see URL field).
Very sorry.
Give me an ebuild and I can add it ;) Feel free to post one here, even if it might not be perfect. We can fix it up if needed ...
Sorry just got back to this, current URL is apparently http://code.google.com/p/byte-unixbench/ Will do my best to get an example ebuild together ASAP
Why this should be closed? Is package's upstream dead or somewhat? If no and it's just 'i am not interested in this package anymore', then, please do not close this again, thanks.
Created attachment 331922 [details] app-benchmarks/unixbench-5.1.3.ebuild This ebuild is not ready for prime time yet, but I wanted to share what I have so far. The primary issue with this program is that the included script runs "make" to check certain things, and of course it needs the Makefile in the current directory for that. In addition, it doesn't seem to be written to make use of it's own ~/.unixbench directory but expects everything to be in the current directory. So maybe this can be fixed with a wrapper script or by patching the script which comes with UnixBench. At the least, the individual utilities might be utilizable. I only tried a few but to no great extent.
