Probably too late, but IMHO the subcommand "download" is unhappy named. What is "downloaded"? traces? Python helper libs for perf-python support, I don't know it. What about "events-download", "events-database", ...
I also thought about further sub-command to delete the cache, update the cache, limit pull to specific vendors, ... I know this is the first shot and further subcommands can be added. But we will end up in something like E.g.: perf events-download pull perf events-download pull --vendor amd perf events-download update perf events-download purge Hagen -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
