I don't think that's a good idea. It would recreate all the problems oprofile has with out of date event lists.

I have doubts a gitweb server is a good way to distribute potentially high volume / high access data. However getting a more neutral space is fine. It would be fine to put it elsewhere on kernel.org. I can ask for a space. Otherwise I will just remove the auto URL from the tool, so the perf project does not need to endorse any particular event lists. Let me know what you prefer. I'll assume the "remove the URL" variant is the default option. -Andi -- [email protected] -- Speaking for myself only -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
