Formula namebench

[nikcub]

Support to brew namebench:

https://code.google.com/p/namebench/

A command line DNS server benchmarking tool.

Written in Python although it isn't in pypi.

Tested, audited, etc. and works. The --install-data=#{bin} may look weird, but it creates a config/ directory and it is where the program searches by default.

btw this doesn't install the GUI since it is building with python setuptools and from source.

Looks like this is installing a large number of nonexecutable files into bin:

brew ls namebench
/usr/local/Cellar/namebench/1.3.1/bin/namebench.py
/usr/local/Cellar/namebench/1.3.1/bin/namebench/templates/style.css
/usr/local/Cellar/namebench/1.3.1/bin/namebench/templates/resolv.conf.tmpl
/usr/local/Cellar/namebench/1.3.1/bin/namebench/templates/html.tmpl
/usr/local/Cellar/namebench/1.3.1/bin/namebench/templates/ascii.tmpl

/usr/local/Cellar/namebench/1.3.1/bin/namebench/data/cache-miss.txt

Cleaned it up - there is now only the namebench binary, renamed without the .py extension and the default configs are in the module.

The app has a very weird search path, it doesn't check or you can't ask it to check /usr/local/etc - it requires patching the actual cli app rather than the setup.py. I sent a patch in upstream.

Install the files to libexec instead of bin, then symlink libexec/namebench.py to bin/namebench or use a wrapper script as needed.
