Bug#1032875: ITP: dool -- Dool as further maintained fork of Dstat
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>
* Package name : dool
Version : 1.1.0
Upstream Author : Scott Baker <scott@perturb.org>
* URL : https://github.com/scottchiefbaker/dool
* License : GPL-2
Programming Lang: Python
Description : Dool is a python3 compatible fork of Dstat and
thereby is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat and ifstat. Dool
overcomes some of the limitations of these programs and adds some
extra features.
As discussed and somewhat pre-coordinated on [1] this is about replacing
(over time) dstat with dool.
dstat was always great and well developed. I wondered why it recently
had more issues, so I had a look at [2]. Reading there didn't make me too
happy as it is essentially dead since almost 4 years now due to [3].
But it made me spot that there is a continued fork in the form of [4]
I did check, but there is no ITP yet listed in [5] which this report
is creating now to have the upload refer to it once it is ready.
As discussed in [1] the intent is to package dool separately first
and maybe take over dstat fully once it is considered ready.
Development wise this will be based on the dstat packaging
(retaining history) and all former dstat maintainers/uploaders
should start as co-uploader/maintainer.
A (very!) preliminary packaging branch has been started on salsa
in the namespace of my user [6].
