Bug#728288: RFA: stressapptest

[Michael Prokop <mika@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


Stressful Application Test (or stressapptest, its unix name) tries
to maximize randomized traffic to memory from processor and I/O,
with the intent of creating a realistic high load situation in order
to test the existing hardware devices in a computer.

Stressapptest may be used for various purposes:

• stress test
• hardware qualification and debugging
• memory interface test
• disk testing

I personally don't really care about stressapptest any more and
therefore don't want to maintain the package any longer.

The package is quite easy to maintain and is available in a typical
git-buildpackage style Git repository, so shouldn't be much of a
burden.
