Remove the DTrace Toolkit port task as it's now at sysutils/DTraceToolkit.
Do you know if the necessary changes for FreeBSD are integrated into the
vendor source? I ask this because there are no port specific changes and if
it isn't integrated, we have the plain Solaris Dtrace Toolkit. Additionally
from the commit log: ---snip--- It's worth noting that not all of these
scripts will work. They are either too Solaris specific or the probes have
not yet been implemented. As more probes are implemented more scripts will
work. ---snip--- So I see value in having someone looking at this (could be
by removing stuff which are too specific, or by implementing the missing
probes).
I think there could be a useful project to be done on fleshing out kernel SDT
providers, but that we need to come up with a more specific description if we
want it to be useful for GSoC. We also need to identify a potential mentor
for the project who can field questions during the proposal process,
potentially mentor the project, and so on.
