[Announcement] Evolution benchmark for Linux

[Technologov]

Hi All,

We at Waverian decided to rewrite the ancient "Livermore Loops" for modern OSes, write both a CLI , a lib, and a GUI for it + publish the source code on Github (for the CLI). The new project is called "Evobench", because it does benchmark computers across different decades (modern vs 1990) and categories (Linux server vs an iPhone). Like a 486 vs a Pentium 1 vs a modern AMD Threadripper vs an iPhone. How crazy is that?

We need help packaging it and uploading into the Debian "main" repository. At least the CLI, that is Open-Source already, and maybe also the GUI (which we are considering to Open-Source also).

In part Evobench is an answer to Geekbench due to its lack of 32-bit support and also also because it's unable to scale properly, to Threadripper level of performance. And in part it's to relive the CPU evolution history. Our App includes a CPU museum inside !

How can we upload our benchmark to the Debian archive (main repository) ?

Hello,

How can we upload our benchmark to the Debian archive (main repository) ?

Only Debian Developers can upload new packages to Debian repository.

You can prepare your software to be packaged for Debian, then send a RFP (request for package, https://wiki.debian.org/RFP) to the DBTS (Debian bug tracking system).

Perhaps you could find space to make it clear that the thread title is nothing to do with Evolution - as in the Evolution mail client - please. Just helps if folks are looking for help with Evolution.
