procps-ng is a fork that could be found on http://gitorious.org/procps
used by Debian, Fedora, openSUSE.
the announce of v3.3.3 release is at
http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/procps-333-released
What is better is a standard configure, compilation with less warnings, a
test suite, some bugs fixed.
But the package is not distributed bootstrapped actually. The git tree
with v3.3.3 tag could be downloaded from gitorious or you may wait to pick
a bootstrapped copy of the package from a distrib that use it (Debian,
Fedora, openSUSE)[[BR]]
Due to the non-boostrapped package, that's an issue for LFS build order as
build before autoconf/automake. I was using debian package and patches
with 3.3.2.
Test suite had many issues in 3.3.2 on my configuration. v3.3.3 now work
for me with a 32-bits kernel and userspace but fail on a 64-bits kernel
and a 32-bits userspace in one test where free -b give bad values for
swaptotal.
