Bug#139475: oprofile RFP
John,
I contacted you quite some time ago about doing this packaging --
and it's actually in pretty good shape (IMHO). You can pick up
the current versions at ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/linux/prospect.
I'm using both OProfile and prospect as my initial packages in
the process of becoming a Debian developer; it's just taking me
a lot longer than I had planned on. My apologies -- I should
have kept you more up to date on my progress.
Granted, there is a more recent version of OProfile. My
reason for working with 0.4 for now is so that I can get
OProfile and prospect both done and released into the Debian
archive at the same time -- and full 0.5 support isn't quite
done in prospect yet. As soon as I get these versions accepted
into the Debian archive, I'll wrap up the work on the newer
versions of OProfile an prospect and get them submitted, too.
In the meantime, could you explain your comment below about
the "file is no longer included" a bit? I assume you mean the
smpboot.h file, but I wanted to double check. I'd like to be
able to fix this version, if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.

Please try a more recent OProfile source, this file is no longer
included.
I'm happy to help the debian people get oprofile packaged; please feel
free to contact me if you have any further problems.
regards,
