I would be interested in co-maintaining systemtap. However, I'm not sure that we should continue to try to provide a systemtap package, given that it doesn't work out of the box because of #365349. (summary: systemtap requires kernel built with debug info, which can be split into a seperate package, but still requires quite a lot of archive space (~300MiB per arch), and space on the buildd while building (> 2GiB)) It's pretty sad, because Debian is currently the only major distro where systemtap doesn't work out of the box. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
