Bug 97974 – net-analyzer/ntop: ntop in portage outdated

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description horrorvacui 2005-07-05 01:32:56 UTC]

Current ntop version in portage is 3.0, but version 3.1.6 is available from ntop
webpage. Seems like ntop is unmaintained.

There are three things I would like you to take note of:

1) ntop is not unmaintained
2) Don't flood bugzilla - we WILL see your bug
3) Don't be rude

That being said, I would like you to point us with a link to ntop-3.1.6 - I
can't seem to find it in ntop.org.

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. Didn't mean to flood either - I believe the
duplicates came from me refreshing the "bug posted" page. I'm new to this bug
posting business.

As for the 3.1.6, er... it's 3.1-6 actually. For lack of downloadable tarballs,
I went by the SuSE package and misread it:
ftp://ftp.uniroma2.it/Linux/suse/pub/suse/i386/current/suse/i586/ntop-3.1-6.i586.rpm

[Comment 6 Marcelo Goes (RETIRED) 2005-07-05 12:11:49 UTC]

That does not mean version 3.1.6 is out.
It means it is SuSE's sixth version of the 3.1 package.

3.1 is available in our unstable branch, as it has been since January.

Yes, I found 3.1 in the meantime (masked by package.mask and ~x86). For what
it's worth, it builds fine and seems to be running stable so far (x86,
gentoo-hardened 2.6.11, 2005.0, i686-pc-linux-gnu).
