Ingo, can you please stop blocking this? It's getting ridiculous. We've been waiting over 8 months for this to go in. While we've been waiting most of our users have learnt to use operf instead, which doesn't require raw codes. I would also add that exactly zero users have asked for a feature where perf downloads and rebuilds itself. In fact many of them would consider that a security breach. cheers _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
