The long term intent is for Steven to push the trace +event library to distributions, and consume it externally. Right now the +PowerTOP project is keeping in sync with his code posted in the Linux +kernel git under tools/lib/traceevent. We will not take patches into the +traceevent code directly, rather we will be re-basing against that code +base. + +If you find a bug in the trace event code, you should to one of two things. + +1. Send a patch to the PowerTOP mailing list, which will get forwared to + Steven if appropriate. + +2. Send a patch to the PowerTOP mailing list, and + CC: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> + +Please do use the PowerTOP mailing list to discuss topics about +traceevent as its used with PowerTOP. |
