** Description changed:
[Overall Rationale]
Required to support full functional/performant ceph package.
Dependency on google-perftools was dropped during 12.04 cycle to support
late MIR; it would be good to re-enable these features for 12.10.
>> google-perftools - http://code.google.com/p/gperftools <<
[Availability]
In universe since hardy (maybe before)
[Rationale]
Provides tcmalloc - a high performance implementation of malloc for
multi-threaded environments. This is important from a performance perspective
for ceph.
http://gperftools.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/tcmalloc.html
[Security]
No CVE's found.
[Quality assurance]
Package has test suite but currently not enabled: BLOCKED
- Blocked by
http://code.google.com/p/gperftools/issues/detail?id=428&q=heap-checker_unittest
+ Blocked by
http://code.google.com/p/gperftools/issues/detail?id=428&q=heap-checker_unittest
- issues with libc6 2.15 compatibility.
[Dependencies]
Other than libunwind (on this MIR):
Runtime dependency on gv for google-perftools - this can probably be dropped
to Suggests (currently recommends).
[Standards compliance]
Package build is CDBS rather than debhelper but looks OK.
Two lintian warnings and a few informational messages - nothing significant.
[Maintenance]
No outstanding bugs in Debian and looks to be well maintained.
Current issue in Lucid - its not installable - but not relevant for 12.10 MIR.
Upstream primary maintainer has just changed - Feb 2012
[Background information]
Quote "Perftools is a collection of a high-performance multi-threaded
malloc() implementation, plus some pretty nifty performance analysis tools."
Renamed upstream to gperftools.
>> libunwind - http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/ <<
[Availability]
In universe since hardy
Currently does not target armhf
[Rationale]
Dependency for google-perftools; required for ceph.
[Security]
No CVE's found.
[Quality assurance]
Currently FTBFS: TODO
Needs merge/sync from Debian: TODO
[Dependencies]
All in main.
[Standards compliance]
Pre-debhelper 7 style, but relatively simple - looks OK.
[Maintenance]
Maintained in Debian (no outstanding bugs); FTBFS on some platforms so not
brilliant.
[Background information]
Only used in amd64 build - need to investigate why.
