Didn't we use to ship sysprof? Has it been removed from the distro for 11.0? I'm asking because it's so useful to me, and I don't think I'm the only one. I'd consider maintaining it.

It was dropped by greg (reviewing KMPs) with the following comment: "system profiler, with the advent of oprofile, I think this can be dropped"

I would put it in build service.

It was developed specifically because oprofile is more complex to use, so I don't think it's redundant, unless oprofile got a lot better over the last year or so. -- Hans Petter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Heh. "We have as, let's drop gcc" :) Seriously, sysprof is really nice to use as a profiling tool (it's what we've been using all along to profile glib, gtk+, pango...). I vote for bringing it back to the distro.

I second that.

Guys - the maintainer gets a notification when someone files a drop request and noone of gnome-maintainers@suse.de said anything. Perhaps someone should start reading that list?

Is it the same general format as the dist mails I get to hpj@suse.de? I get ~100 of those on some days, usually one per change per product per architecture, e.g:

Many thanks for posting internal email to a public mailing list. Yes, it is with those emails. Actually they're from PDB, and they have PDB: in the subject, and a special email address, which should be easy for you to recognize.

That aside, I'm not sure it's good process to assume you can drop someone else's package if he fails to respond to a generated mail. For a decision like that, it might be better to require the maintainer's explicit consent, to make sure he's in the loop - and not on vacation or otherwise missing mails.

How do you expect to get maintainers consent if the maintainer is a group of people, and none of them answering?

I'm subscribed, but stopped reading it a long time ago --- it's pretty hard to sift out the sporadic interesting stuff from the thousands of machine-generated mails.

and you got no method to sort machine generated mails into different folders than other mails? but it might explain why mailing gnome-maintainers sometimes gets no reaction. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
