Bug#896165: linux: request packaging of bpftool
Source: linux
Version: 4.9.65-3+deb9u2
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
I would like to request packaging of bpftool which has been
included in upstream Linux tree since v4.15-rc1. I expect this can
be done in a similar manner to the way that perf, also present in
the upstream Linux kernel tree, is packaged.
The purpose of bpftool is to allow querying and updating BPF objects on the
system. It is actively developed and maintained by upstream.
Kind regards,
Simon
