- Subject: libpcap0.7: MMAP support required
- From: Francesco Potorti` <pot@gnu.org>
- Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 20:22:22 +0200
- Message-id: <E1BIAkI-0007fL-00@pot.isti.cnr.it>
Package: libpcap0.7
Version: 0.7.2-5
Severity: wishlist
Starting from kernel 2.4.25 (and 2.6.5?) an option exists to enable the
MMAP feature of packet sockets. In 2.4.26 a file
Documentation/networking/packet_mmap.txt exists that explains the issue.
However, in order to use it, you need libpcacp support. Phil Wood is
maintaining a patch against libpcap 0.8, and now also against 1.0 at
<http://public.lanl.gov/cpw/>.
Can we have it in Debian?

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 245995
stop
Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
245995@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
