Changelog

 dtrace (2.0.5-2) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Nick Alcock ]
   * Test suite weakly pulls in kernel-uek-tools to get perf.
 .
   [ Kris Van Hees ]
   * Implement PID-specific uprobes.
   * Allocate the buffers BPF map to fit highest CPU id.
   * Fix argument handling for multi-location user probes.
   * Discontinue -xversion=V as an option.
 .
   [ Eugene Loh ]
   * Change the "stack skip" to 3 for fbt (fprobe) and rawtp providers.
   * Fix prvname so that both rawfbt and fbt probes are seen.
   * Do not convert "__" to "-" for stapsdt provider names.
   * Fix printf formatting with non-monetary grouping chars.

  Description     : Dynamic tracing for Linux (DTrace)
 This is the official Linux port of the advanced tracing tool DTrace.
 .
 DTrace is a high-level dynamic tracing tool for Linux, built on kernel
 tracing features (tracepoints, function probes (fentry/fexit), dynamic
 kernel probes (kprobes), dynamic userspace probes (uprobes), ... and
 leveraging BPF as execution engine.  It features an integrated compiler
 for its high-level tracing language and native support for interacting
 with the BPF engine, significantly reducing runtime dependencies.

 This package contains the development files necessary to develop
 alternative implementations of the user interface for libdtrace, i.e.
 replacements for dtrace(1) itself.

for d/control
if upstream calls their source dtrace-utils, you should too.

  2. please accept my preference of using this place over MAIL, if you want IRC is also preferred (not that HTTP would be great):

please use dtrace-tools as src package name, dtrace as bin package name is fine.

why are you stuck with the repo name? you can't just rename it? create a new and get rid of the old? redirect, whatever? i don't think it's stored on RO media?

but this is not a blocker, i was just telling what people are supposed to do, and they do. i will not insist.

yes it can be src:dtrace-tools bin:tools bin:whatever
