If anyone has ever tried to run a gnutella gwebcache, they've probably |
| 2 |
noticed about 8-10 requests a second. And it increases during high-usage |
| 3 |
hours. This makes it useless to run cgi-based scripts unless you have a |
| 4 |
super-powerful database and web server. Since the usefulness of such |
| 5 |
scripts has gone to practically 0, they are no longer maintained |
| 6 |
upstream and I recommend the removal of them from portage. The following |
| 7 |
packages headed for the guillotine are: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
net-p2p/phpgnucacheii |
| 10 |
net-p2p/gwebcache |
| 11 |
net-p2p/perlgcache |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The recommended package for anyone wanting to support the gnutella |
| 14 |
network is net-p2p/ghostwhitecrab, which is its own built-in server. |
| 15 |
Ghostwhitecrab will continue to be maintained both upstream and in portage. |
| 16 |

If someone would like to save these packages from a gruesome death, |
| 18 |
speak now. If not, I'll post another message to gentoo-dev right before |
| 19 |
the massacre, and everyone's welcome to join #gentoo-commits to watch |
| 20 |
the gore. |
