Joel Klecker just reminded me of a strace tarball from Ulrich Drepper with a lot of his changes, and since I aim to make Debian's strace the one-and-only-strace that includes all possible features I had to incorporate it in my sources.. so I just went through a nice 6500-line diff and modified quite a lot of strace in the process (yes folks, it is official now: even Ulrich Drepper can make amazingly silly errors!). I probably broke a lot of stuff, most likely sparc code, but it seems to work for me. I want to urge everyone to try this package, especially on powerpc (I moved a lot of syscalls around that might break there) and sparc (UD handled a couple of sparc things differently, I could have broken something in the merger). Oh, you have to have 2.1.x or 2.2.x kernel sources in /usr/scr/linux to compile this thing, the includes from glibc2 are not good enough. And no, I don't think I'll fix that: I need the include from a recent kernel to get the structures for stat and signal correct.. Finally a note to the guy who made the 3.1.0.1-9.1 NMU: tough luck, I didn't incorporate your changes since you never send them to me. Better luck next time. Oh, the new version is 3.1.0.1-10, it's in Incoming, but you can get it at http://www.wi.leidenuniv.nl/~wichert/debian/testing in the meantime.
