RFP: perf tool
Hi,
Is it possible to provide the perf tool for your kernels? With separate package I assume. Back to top |

Debian already provides this tool in the linux-tools package. If you need the newest, they already have a 3.4 compatible version of perf in experimental.
:: Code :: $ apt-cache policy linux-tools-3.4

Yes, it's known stuff. But let me elaborate a bit.
In Debian linux-tools-* package is updated with linux-image-* synchronously. But updated official kernel packages not always available when new liquorix packages come out. Also Debian testing is frozen now, so there is no guarantee that >= 3.5 kernels will be packaged in regular basis until Wheezy is released. Back to top |

Experimental is typically asynchronous, is unaffected by the freeze. My experience in unstable tells me that you probably won't have to worry as long as you track experimental for packages like this. But if the maintainer does neglect the package during the freeze, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
