lmbench for Debian ------------------ The original sources have been changed in order to work in pacakged form (they were supposed to work in a single tarball). Lmbench scripts and binaries have been placed in /usr/lib/lmbench in order to avoid binary namespace pollution. I've tried to change all the scripts in order to break the dependencies in them: Results are placed at /var/lib/lmbench/results Scripts are placed at /usr/share/lmbench/scripts/ Binaries are placed at /usr/lib/lmbench/ Temporaries are no longer placed in /usr/tmp but /var/tmp Warning: some manpages have been removed from the package due to overlapping with other binary manpages (they take common names like 'clock', 'timing'). If you wish to consult these manpages, until this issues are fixed, download the source package and go to the doc/ subdirectory. Warning! Warning!: The lmbench-run wrapper script will not run unless run by root. However, we have not thoroughly tested lmbench code to see that it does not contain potential damaging scripts. Be careful when running the benchmark and, if in doubt, create a user/group which keeps control of the mentioned directories (ie can write in them) and run the benchmark as that user. -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino , Tue, 19 Feb 2002 22:01:31 +0100 Updates by: -- Al Stone Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:20:00 -0700
