Spec URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/procinfo-ng.spec SRPM URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/procinfo-ng-2.0.217-1.fc9.src.rpm Project URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/procinfo-ng/ Description: Procinfo-NG is a complete rewrite of the old system monitoring application procinfo. The goal is to make more readable (and reusable) code and to restore broken functionality. Koji scratch builds: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=927803 rpmlint output: [fab@laptop024 SRPMS]$ rpmlint procinfo-ng* 1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings. [fab@laptop024 i386]$ rpmlint procinfo-ng* 2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 0 warnings. I renamed the file 'procinfo' to 'procinfo-ng' in the %file section to avoid conflicts with the existing 'procinfo'.
Is it commandline-compatible, and somewhat-output-compatible, with original procinfo? If so, it may be worth talking to the procinfo maintainer about just obsoleting the old version.b
I added a note about a replacing of procinfo in the 'Merge Review' https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226317

Michael, thanks for your inputs.

It's the same man page as in procinfo as far as I can see. lsdev and socklist are missing in procinfo-ng.

Changed Here are the new files Spec URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/procinfo-ng.spec SRPM URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/procinfo-ng-2.0.217-2.fc9.src.rpm
Packaging-wise: APPROVED [...] * The manual page could/should be patched to remove references to the old hidden option -f (full screen), which has been removed. * procinfo-ng -n1 mode gives strange/unexpected results here. Except for the first second it shows bad values "inf%" and "nan%" for the CPU usage percentage numbers and vmm stats. (usually "inf = infinite" and "nan = not a number") It seems it somehow switches into diff-mode automatically and calculates values it cannot display.
