I was wondering what tools you are using to manage the Perfmon2 kernel
patches. There are CVS trees for libpfm and pfmon on the Perfmon2
Sourceforge site, but not for the kernel patches. Do you use GIT, quilt,
or some other SCM tool? Based on the recent discussions on LKML, it looks
like there will be a few modifications coming up for Perfmon2, and I'm
eager to keep up with your latest changes. Some other people here at IBM
have also expressed an interest in having a GIT tree available for
Perfmon2, and it could also help with getting Perfmon2 accepted into
mainline. If you think that's a possibility, I'll be happy to help
however I can with getting it set up.
I am not too familiar with git. I remember trying it for a while at least
for the basic "consumer" commands. I think we should try this out. I would
think we could get a git repository off of kernel.org, unless you have a
better idea. I don't think we can get that from SourceForge.
I haven't used GIT in a while either, but it seems like that's the way things
are going these days with kernel development, so we might as well take the
plunge. There's pointers to some of the basic docs at http://git.kernel.org/.
They have a nice tutorial online which covers the basic needs. So it does not
look too difficult.
kernel.org definitely seems like the most appropriate place to host the tree.
Information about getting an account on kernel.org is at
http://www.kernel.org/faq/#account.
I'll be playing around with GIT and the Perfmon2 patches, and I'll let you
know if I come across any other good docs or tips.
I will send them an account request. I think I may have an account there
already.
Is there a git repository for perfmon2 work now? -Will
