I'd like to resurrect libpfm for openSUSE. Current version is 4.3.0 which supports perf_events only. Old dropped version was 3.52 (and included support for the perfmon2.X which now only exists in SLES). Partly this was driven by wanting to fix the PAPI packaging in SLES, also by a recent sr (that I rejected) to add papi-devel to oprofile (for Factory/ppc64). Oprofile 0.9.8 (for powerpc) requires libpfm. Currently this library is side-effect provided by papi, which contains it's own internal copy of libpfm (which isn't well versioned). I'd also like to follow Fedora and have papi depend on this external version of libpfm rather than it's internal version. I'm not certain it needs to be build-time switchable as it is in Fedora? The old dropped version of libpfm was using group Development/Tools/Debuggers. I'm thinking Development/Libraries/C and C++ (and Development/Libraries/Python for the swig bindings) makes more sense.
