Bug#534216: ITP: mbuffer -- tool for buffering data streams



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Peter Pentchev <roam@ringlet.net>

* Package name    : mbuffer
  Version         : 20090215
  Upstream Author : Thomas Maier-Komor <thomas@maier-komor.de>

  Description     : tool for buffering data streams

The mbuffer tool is used to buffer data streams and show the I/O rate and
summary to the user.  It is especially useful for writing backups to
fast tape drives or streaming them over the network.  If used correctly,
it can prevent buffer underruns and speed up the whole backup or
transfer process.

I'll contact upstream for clarifications about the OpenSSL exception,
since mbuffer links against libcrypto.  Alternatively, I'll see if it
can use gnutls for those routines.

G'luck,
Peter

Thit sentence is not self-referential because "thit" is not a word.
