(Judging from your e-mail, I’d guess it deserves its own package) I'm not really sure yet :-) I don't know of any other applications using ghc-events besides threadscope. I suppose show-ghc-events could be used as a debugging aid while developing over ghc-events and also as a standalone application but, why dump event logs to text when you can use threadscope? I'm leaning towards adding it to libghc6-ghc-events-dev. -- Ernesto Hernández-Novich - @iamemhn - Unix: Live free or die! Geek by nature, Linux by choice, Debian of course.
