Bug#678870: strace+: changing back from ITP to RFP
retitle 678870 RFP: strace+ -- An improved version of strace that collects stack traces noowner 678870 tag 678870 - pending thanks Hi, A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging strace+. Unfortunately, it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from packaging the software. This is an automatic email to change the status of strace+ back from ITP (Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen any activity during the last 12 months. If you are still interested in packaging strace+, please send a mail to cont...@bugs.debian.org with: retitle 678870 ITP: strace+ -- An improved version of strace that collects stack traces owner 678870 ! thanks It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to time, by mailing 678...@bugs.debian.org. If you need guidance on how to package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the debian-ment...@lists.debian.org mailing list. Thank you for your interest in Debian, -- Lucas, for the QA team debian...@lists.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#678870:
I've been thinking about this for a while. I don't think it's a good idea to package in its current state: 1. The system libunwind should be used, to ease maintainability and application of security patches. This could probably be done quite easily. 2. There's no official release. This could also be fixed quite easily, if strace-plus is to be developed further. 3. strace-plus currently duplicates all the source code of strace. This IMHO is the most severe issue, and also the issue which is hardest to resolve. If possible, I'd like to see the features of strace-plus merged into strace. I have mailed the author of strace-plus, and offered to help with fixing this if he agrees, we will see what the answer is. // Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#678870: ITP: strace+ -- An improved version of strace that collects stack traces
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Alexander Toresson alexander.tores...@gmail.com * Package name: fceux Version : no release yet Upstream Author : Philip Guo pgbov...@google.com * URL : http://code.google.com/p/strace-plus/ * License : New BSD License (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php) Programming Lang: C Description : An improved version of strace that collects stack traces strace+ is an improved version of strace that collects stack traces associated with each system call. Since system calls require an expensive user-kernel context switch, they are often sources of performance bottlenecks. strace+ allows programmers to do more detailed system call profiling and determine, say, which call sites led to costly syscalls and thus have potential for optimization. It also enabled developers to find out from where specific system calls were performed, as this may not be very easy to find out when using many libraries. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
