Description Felix Wiemann 2006-05-21 08:25:10 UTC
net-misc/trickle has been removed according to http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/net-misc/trickle/ChangeLog?hideattic=0&rev=1.8&view=log

However, I'm successfully using it on my system (not the daemon though, just the standalone program).  So, it would be great if you could re-add it.

No, sorry.

This package hasn't had an upstream release since June of 2003. won't compile with gcc-4 (bug #126597) and had no maintainer either.
Comment 2 Felix Wiemann 2006-05-21 13:54:50 UTC
Umm, this is a bit bad (for me at least) because there is no other program that could fulfill trickle's purpose, AFAICS.
Comment 3 David Grant 2006-11-29 14:50:32 UTC
Trickle also works for me with ssh at least. (doesn't work with rsync over ssh but doesn't matter because rsync has it's own bandwidth limiter). I can add this to sunrise.

Does someone mind re-opening this and assigning to maintainer-wanted?
