Back in trace-cmd 2.8, all the plugins are under $(libdir)/trace-cmd/plugins. While as of trace-cmd 2.9, I find the traceevent plugins are installed in $(libdir) by default. This brings up an interesting situation - the perf tool also contains a copy of the traceevent in the same directory. So this means trace-cmd and perf have file conflicts. In terms of packaging, this means users can only install one of them, not in parallel (at least for Fedora). So I'd like to see if there are existing proposals or suggestions for which one is expected to be used by other utilities? Or is there any official plan to move one of them to the other directory? I'm copying Tzvetomir and Jiri as I think you're the first people for getting the plugins in this directory for trace-cmd and perf respectively.Sorry, I just saw an email from Steven mentioning there will be a stand alone libtraceevent. However I did not find it in git.kernel.org. So I probably should ask if the stand alone version of libtraceevent is ready now?No but this gives me incentive to make it so very soon!
Thanks for the info. I'll workaround this in trace-cmd then before it is ready.
