Both of them are 100% correct but at the same time entirely miss the point. Yes, oprofile was and is a desaster, but that has aboslutely nothing to do with where the code lives. And yes, it's easy to generate a subpackage, but you still need all the source tree first. There's a reason why things like X.org got split up (too fine grained in my opinion, but that's another story). As said I very much disagree with having the userspace perf tree in the kernel still, but I've also given up on the fight as I have more important things to do. And as said before it has nothing to do with the issue discussed here right now. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
