The file was removed because the filepattern statement it uses is no
longer supported and won't work with current version of torrus.

Here's Stan's full answer:

|Besides, the smokeping template was never integrated in any of

|If there's an interest in integration with Smokeping, it should be done

Tagging this bug as wontfix, sorry.

Greetings
Marc
