Description Tobias Sager 2004-06-25 01:19:28 UTC
<snip>
ibmonitor is an interactive linux console application which shows
bandwidth consumed and total data transferred on all interfaces.

Its main features are:

    * Shows received, transmitted and total bandwidth of each interface
    * Calculates and displays the combined value of all interfaces
    * Displays total data transferred per interface in KB/MB/GB
    * Values can be displayed in Kbits/sec(Kbps) and/or KBytes/sec(KBps)
    * Can show maximum bandwidth consumed on each interface since start of utility
    * Can show average bandwidth consumption on each interface since start of utility
    * The output with all features (max, avg and display in Kbps and KBps) easily fits on a 80x24 console or xterm
    * Can interactively change its output display format depending on key pressed by user.

ibmonitor-1.2.ebuild

ebuild for net-analyzer/ibmonitor

A few comments:

If you're using sourceforge's mirrors add a line reading:
RESTRICT="nomirror"

Only add your arch as a testing: I do not know which one is yours, but most probably is x86 - this will do:
KEYWORDS="~x86"

also dodoc COPYING is redundant since as the ebuild states it is a GPL-2 package.

Looks good for me.
Something tells me this is going to get in RSN...
Comment 5 Tobias Sager 2004-06-27 03:24:34 UTC
RSN?

Thanks! in portage.

BTW, I did a little clean up on the ebuild:

added SLOT="0" which was missing.

declared S=${WORKDIR}/${PN} (src_unpack auto cd into ${S} )

added a dummy function for src_compile (as this is a non-compiling package, and the default src_compile is to compile)
