Sysprof in rpmfusion

[Gianluca Sforna]

Hi all,
Since some time, the sysprof package
(http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/sysprof/) that used to be in Fedora
is retired due to the dependency on a kernel module which never got
upstreamed nor included in the Fedora kernel.

In the last year or so, I hoped the situation would improve: there was
an attempt at upstreaming the module that was rejected but some
different code based on the new ftrace subsytem appeared to be
promising.

Today, it seems we would be lucky to have ftrace in Fedora kernel by
F11, let alone the sysprof new profiling code, so I'm here to see how
we can revive the sysprof package as is (userspace+kernel module) in
RPMFusion.

The userspace package was actually reviewed before entering Fedora here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=191743
while the kmod was:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=191745

I'd like your advice regarding how to proceed, wrt to whether I should
submit the packages for review: please note the userspace part is
basically the same, while the kmod was adapted to use the new akmod
stuff, so I guess the latter would benefit from a through check...

TIA

Gianluca
