Bug#568866: RFA: systemtap -- instrumentation system for Linux 2.6
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the systemtap package.
I have no time to properly support this package anymore. The package has
two open security bugs. One of them should be fixed in version from
experimental, but systemtap-server in this version does not work in
Debian. Patch for the other bug is available.
Otherwise package is bugs-clean (but it is ifluenced by some bugs in
elfutils, new version should fix some of them).
The package description is:
SystemTap provides infrastructure to simplify the gathering of
information about the running Linux system.
This assists diagnosis of a performance or functional problem.
SystemTap eliminates the need for the developer to go through the
tedious and disruptive instrument, recompile, install, and reboot
sequence that may be otherwise required to collect data.
.
SystemTap provides a simple command line interface and scripting
language for writing instrumentation for a live running system.
