Description of problem: The rpm description of oprofile says "for systems running Linux 2.2/2.4.". This is obviously wrong as fedora runs a 2.6 kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): oprofile-0.9.2-3.fc6 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
The next time the packages are built this will be corrected (this doesn't warrant a rebuild itself). The description has been changed in the spec files for devel, FC-6, and RHEL-5 branches of oprofile. The description has been changed to: OProfile is a profiling system for systems running Linux. The profiling runs transparently during the background, and profile data can be collected at any time. OProfile makes use of the hardware performance counters provided on Intel P6, and AMD Athlon family processors, and can use the RTC for profiling on other x86 processor types. See the HTML documentation for further details.
