Bug 113620 – Stabilize net-analyzer/sflowtool

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Benjamin Smee (strerror) (RETIRED) 2005-11-26 04:35:01 UTC]

I have had a request or three (eg bug #105156) asking for sflowtools to be
stabilized. I would therefore request that the arches mark this stable if they
think its appropriate.

Only problem here seems to be that sFlow packets are high speed switched 
networks.  I'm unfortunately not privleged enough to have one of those.  Is 
there some kind of a test case for this?  Also s/sflowtools/sflowtool/.

Thats not quite true. Sflow is just a standard (like netflow) for sending /
storing information about traffic flows around a network. Unfortunately most of
the devices that support it are large commercial high end routers, which
understandably makes it hard to test. That said I believe that ntop can export
sflows, so you could configure ntop to send some sflows, and then use the
sflowtools package to capture / analyse them as a test. Failing that you can
just accept mine and our users assurances that it is working in production
environments "as is".

x86 has indicated that they are happy if I mark this stable myself. I will do
that shortly for x86 which just leaves ppc. PPC herd please let me know one way
or the other about this soon so I can close this bug :)

Stable on x86, thanks strerror

Marked ppc stable, sorry for the wait.  It seems to work okay, but as I also don't have the hardware in question.  Since we're the last arch, I'll close the bug.
