Now that several people have joined the list, I'd like to kick things off with some pointers. Some past discussions about utrace details have taken place on the systemtap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and frysk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing lists. If some posts here read like someone started in the middle of an ongoing discussion, it's because they did. If you are missing some context, please look for it in those lists' archives at http://sourceware.org/ml/systemtap/ and http://sourceware.org/ml/frysk/. Next, I call your attention to http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/utrace This is an empty placeholder page now, but can be a place to hang informal stuff about utrace. I hope that folks on this list will want either to edit that wiki or to house a utrace wiki somewhere else if that's more convenient. I'm lousy at writing up web and wiki pages about stuff, but I'm always droning on with details in email. It would be great if people cull info from threads here for wiki pages about the state of things. Here are a few subjects I imagine people might want to start talking about. We have a whole list here, so please start new, narrow threads with appropriate Subject lines, don't just discuss everything in followups to this message. * future work http://people.redhat.com/roland/utrace/TODO is a list in terms so vague they probably only make sense to me. That can be elaborated, wikified, etc. * known bugs I have a few, I will put together a list. * arch porting status I'm not sure anyone has read utrace-arch-porting-howto.txt lately. Perhaps I should be posting to linux-arch more trying to drum up interest in doing ports. * utrace back into -mm? (upstream integration status generally) I don't really know anything you don't know, but maybe we could know more. Thanks, Roland
