Description of problem: Sysprof is a really useful tool for developers tuning software helps in understanding whats going on on the system as a whole. Fedora8 contained sysprof-1.0.9, however it seems its not supported with more recent kernels (I had to install 2.6.24). Fedora9 does not seem to offer a sysprof package at all, it would be great if it could be re-introduced again.
sysprof requires a kernel module, and out-of-tree kernel modules are barred by Fedora policy. The plan was to move it to livna/rpmfusion but that doesn't seem to have happened yet. http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/sysprof/F-9/dead.package?view=markup See also this thread: http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-devel-list/2007-December/msg01668.html
Thanks for the explanation. should I file a bug at livna? Clemens
