Hello,

I am reopening this bug as I intend to package and maintain this package.

Below is an updated description:
--------
Package name    : tsung
Version         : 1.3.2
Upstream Author : Nicolas Niclausse <nicolas@niclux.org>
URL             : http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/

Description     : multi-protocol distributed load testing tool
(HTTP/SOAP/Jabber/etc.)

Tsung is a distributed load testing tool. It can be used to stress
HTTP, WebDAV, SOAP, PostgreSQL, MySQL, LDAP and Jabber/XMPP servers.
.
The purpose of Tsung is to simulate users in order to test the
scalability and performance of IP based client/server applications.
You can use it to do load and stress testing of your servers. Many
protocols have been implemented and tested, and it can be easily
extended. WebDAV, LDAP and MySQL support have been added recently
(experimental).
.
For HTTP, it support 1.0 and 1.1 version, has a proxy mode to
record sessions, support GET and POST method, Cookies and Basic
WWW-authentication. It also has support for SSL.
.
It can be distributed on several client machines and is able to
simulate hundreds of thousands of virtual users concurrently (or even
millions if you have enough hardware ...).
