@jsably : yes, it provides multiple RPMs, as a drop-in replacement (
the exact same rpm names).
@martin : yep, indeed, Base:System might be more appropriate.

I would like to introduce linux-tools into Factory. Some tools are now provided by the mainline kernel, including but not limited to : - cpupower - usbip - perf (already build in kernel sources)
That means these packages have to get dropped from factory to get replaced with kernel build-in versions. So, as Tony asked me to discuss it on the mailinglist (what I better should had make in a first place), I would like to know if there is any objection.

Hi
first let me thank you for doing so, it is great that someone did this, as already mentioned, since this package provides perf, usbip and cpupower, those standalone packages need to be removed from Factory/Tumbleweed. Additional benefit of having this package in Factory is availability of tmon and cgroup_event_listener.
It would be great if maintainers of packages supposed to be replaced reviewed devel:tools/linux-tools and shared their opinion/comments/suggestions.
Also currently package resides in devel:tools, but perhaps it might make more sense to move it to Base:System.
Cheers
