Name : fping Product : Fedora 17 Version : 3.4 Release : 1.fc17 URL : http://www.fping.org/ Summary : Scriptable, parallelized ping-like utility Description : fping is a ping-like program which can determine the accessibility of multiple hosts using ICMP echo requests. fping is designed for parallelized monitoring of large numbers of systems, and is developed with ease of use in scripting in mind. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Package changes: * Add missing manual page for fping6 Interesting upstream changes: * Version 3.4 * Revert "Output statistics to stdout instead of stderr", because it breaks tools assuming the output goes to stderr * Version 3.3 * Do not output icmp errors with -q (#1) * Fix removing of unreachable hosts when doing loop (Thomas Liske, #13 #23) * Fix -A for fping6 (reported by Matt LaPlante, #14) * Fix "options inet6" breaking IPv4 name resolution (reported by Matt LaPlante, #17) * Output statistics to stdout instead of stderr (suggested by Simon Leinen, #9) * Set default data size to 56 bytes on all architectures (#18) * Fix error message on DNS error for IPv6 hosts (#27) * Fix -n flag in fping6 (#28) * Man-page fix: TOS option typo (Thomas Liske, #23) * Man-page fix: inconsistency in regards to numeric arguments (Robert Henney) * Man-page fix: better description of option -q (#15) * Version 3.2 * Improve documentation for -g option (G.W. Haywood) * Performance optimization for big select timeouts (#10, Andrey Bondarenko) * Fix restart of select call after interrupt signal (#8, Boian Bonev) * Fix infinite loop caused by linked list corruption (#11, Boian Bonev) * Version 3.1 * -g option (generate): exclude network and broadcast address for cidr ranges (idea by Eric Brander) * Man-page fixes (Axel Beckert) * Added -H option to specify number of hops (Paul Duda) * Output usage information to stdout when called with -h (Paul Duda) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Sep 24 2012 Charles R. Anderson <[email protected]> - 3.4-1 - update to 3.4 which fixes rhbz#854572 by restoring previous behavior: * Revert "Output statistics to stdout instead of stderr", because it breaks tools assuming the output goes to stderr * Thu Aug 30 2012 Charles R. Anderson <[email protected]> - 3.3-2 - use configure options to build ipv4 and ipv6 versions simultaneously so we can use the standard make install to get the fping6 man page, etc. - build for el6 w/cap_net_raw (el5 still needs traditional setuid) - use preferred Buildroot tag for el5 - make conditional build with/without ENABLE_F_OPTION actually work * Thu Aug 30 2012 Charles R. Anderson <[email protected]> - 3.3-1 - update to 3.3 * Thu Jul 26 2012 Charles R. Anderson <[email protected]> - 3.2-1 - update to 3.2 - no longer need capnetraw patch * Thu Jul 19 2012 Fedora Release Engineering <[email protected]> - 3.0-2 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_18_Mass_Rebuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
