Description Susi Lehtola 2013-05-21 11:41:42 UTC
The new layout of the gperftools package is not satisfactory.
In contrast to google-perftools, gperftools doesn't have a main package that could be installed.

Installing gperftools-devel does not install pprof.

To be able to use the tools one needs to install both gperftools-devel and pprof separately, which is clearly subideal.

I would suggest making the main package an empty metapackage that requires gperftools-devel and pprof, much like it used to be.
