[netperf-talk] new netperf4 sources in the repository

[Rick Jones]

Folks -

Those interested in netperf4 may be interested to know a fresh check-in of 
netperf4 sources has happened.  This version has actually partially worked under 
HP-UX.  I've not tried Linux yet, but it does compile cleanly there.

http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf4

If you decide to svn checkout trunk, and configure; make; you will probably need 
to do a make install to get the libs (created by libtool) somewhere where 
netperf and netserver can find them.  Then you can stick a "netperf4" entry in 
your /etc/services file pointing at port 56821  (netperf2's control port number 
backwards :)

cd to src
./netserver -p 56821 # will start a one-shot netserver in the forground
./netperf            # should start a series of default tests over loopback

you may need to edit the default_config.xml and perhaps other files to put the 
full pathname for the library .la file there.  netperf does not presently know 
how to go hunting for the file

an administrivial note about the repositories - there was some sort of Berkeley 
DB problem when I tried to upload the current netperf4 bits.  An svnadmin 
recover appears to have dealt with that, but knuth only knows....  anyway, I'm 
planning on converting both repositories to "FSFS" instead of BerkeleyDB, which 
means they may be offline for a bit at some point.
