retitle 568866 O: systemtap -- instrumentation system for Linux 2.6 thanks Hello, I'm orphaning this package now. If you want to maintain it, it's yours. If you have questions about packaging I can help, but I don't have time to co-maintain it. Git repository is available in collab-main group on git.debian.org. I packaged latest version only for experimental because I had no time to make sure that -client and -server packages work correctly and have correct dependencies. Everything else there should be ok. 8 лютого 2010 о 15:32 +0100 Lucas Nussbaum написав(-ла): > I would be interested in co-maintaining systemtap.

Additionally building the kernel with debuginfo requires a lot of time, at least on my system. IIRC some people proposed/tried to implement debuginfo subsetting/compression in gcc, but I'm not sure about present status. Anyway even without support for official kernel systemtap can be useful for kernel development. > > It's pretty sad, because Debian is currently the only major distro where > systemtap doesn't work out of the box.
