* Use the new plugin functionality available and build the dns, random and whois
plugins by default.
* The postgresql and ldap plugins can be optionally built by setting
PKG_OPTIONS.echoping.
6.0.1 (2007-04-04)
* Bug fixes only
6.0.0 (2007-03-26)
* Plugins: several plugins (whois, postgresql, dns) are now
shipped with echoping and you can write your own. All new
protocols will now be supported via plugins. Consequences:
* you now need an Unix with a working dlopen(3)
* echoping now requires the popt parsing library
* popt: echoping now depends on popt. One main change: options
parsing is lightly different so some scripts *may* break. A
typical example is that "old-school" Unix aggreation of arguments
("echoping -v4 localhost") is no longer accepted (use "echoping -v
-4 localhost").
* Many bug fixes, see the list at Sourceforge
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
Changes:
5.1.0 (2003-11-09)
* GNU TLS support (alternative to OpenSSL),
* Small licence change,
* Portability fixes (MacOS X)
5.0.1 (2002-11-04)
* Small bug fixes,
* Better error messages with invalid options
5.0.0 (2002-10-11)
* Now uses getnameinfo/getaddrinfo. Two consequences:
- you can compile only on a recent Unix
- you have IPv6 support
* With -v, now able to separate kernel (TCP) and application latency
* Now displays the standard deviation for repeated tests. Warning:
this may break some scripts which parse the output of echoping.
4.2.0 (2001-03-16)
* New -a and -A options to control the proxy/cache (disable caching).
Fixes bug/wish #232324
* Support for microsecond wait (uses usleep)
* New option (-p) to set socket priority (Linux only)
* New option (-P) to set IP Type of Service octet
* Bug fixes: #230384 (SSL records are different from text lines)
"echoping" is a small program to test (approximatively) performances of a
remote host by sending it TCP "echo" (or other protocol) packets.
