Bug#745133: RFP: whatmaps -- Find processes mapping shared objects



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : whatmaps
  Version         : 0.0.4
  Upstream Author : Guido Günther <agx@sigxcpu.org>
* URL             : https://honk.sigxcpu.org/piki/projects/whatmaps
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Find processes mapping shared objects

 After package upgrades processes using a ahared library need to be
 restarted to make use of that updated library (e.g. if the library got a
 security upgrade).
 .
 Whatmaps looks for shared objects in packages and finds running programs
 that map them, list them and allows one to restart them.
 .
 It can be integrated with apt to automatically restart services
 automatically on security upgrades.
 . 
 It has a built in list of relationships that allows to e.g. restart
 libvirt-guests instead of qemu-kvm when qemu-kvm gets updated.

Git already carries a debian/ branch but I fail to keep that up to date
for sid continously so a maintainer would be appreciated.
