Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : bcc Version : 0.7.0 Upstream Author : IO Visor Project <wcar...@vmware.com> * URL : https://github.com/iovisor/bcc * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: C, Python, Lua Description : bytecode-compiler for Linux kernel BPF
BCC is a toolkit for creating efficient kernel tracing and manipulation programs, and includes several useful tools and examples. It makes use of extended BPF (Berkeley Packet Filters), formally known as eBPF, a new feature that was first added to Linux 3.15. BCC makes BPF programs easier to write, with kernel instrumentation in C (and includes a C wrapper around LLVM), and front-ends in Python and lua. It is suited for many tasks, including performance analysis and network traffic control. Appearently this isn't available yet (there is a binary package of that name which belongs to the source package linux86). Upstream already ships a debian/ folder, the binary packages build with that are libbcc, python-bcc, bcc-lua and bcc-tools. Thanks, DS
