Description James Masson 2009-02-24 16:19:32 UTC

As per this page -  

http://wwwx.cs.unc.edu/~jsterrel/articles/tcpslice-largefiles.php

tcpslice doesn't support a file size bigger than 2GB.

Initially, the solution is pretty simple, I've tested it out and it works...

add "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE" to the Makefile before compiling.

But the Makefile is generated dynamically by ./configure - and altering that is a little beyond me :-(

This looks like another one of those upstream packages that Debian has continued to support.  They fixed the bug in 2006, and their current version (albeit 2 years old) is significantly more current than that in portage.

I'm honestly unable to find which package this refers to so I have to assume it was removed.

That would be:

Regrettable it's closed, that's a useful tool.
