* Package name : dool Version : 1.1.0 Upstream Author : Scott Baker <sc...@perturb.org> * URL : https://github.com/scottchiefbaker/dool * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: Python Description : Dool is a python3 compatible fork of Dstat and thereby is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat and ifstat. Dool overcomes some of the limitations of these programs and adds some extra features. As discussed and somewhat pre-coordinated on [1] this is about replacing (over time) dstat with dool. dstat was always great and well developed. I wondered why it recently had more issues, so I had a look at [2]. Reading there didn't make me too happy as it is essentially dead since almost 4 years now due to [3]. But it made me spot that there is a continued fork in the form of [4] I did check, but there is no ITP yet listed in [5] which this report is creating now to have the upload refer to it once it is ready. As discussed in [1] the intent is to package dool separately first and maybe take over dstat fully once it is considered ready. Development wise this will be based on the dstat packaging (retaining history) and all former dstat maintainers/uploaders should start as co-uploader/maintainer. A (very!) preliminary packaging branch has been started on salsa in the namespace of my user [6].
