hi Daniel,
time have elapsed since that report have been sent, and i have to answer:
- why bootchart is still into the more recent archives( utopic/vivid) as its a
non maintained and oldish package ? That's the first reason for moving to
something maintained & far better.
..... from the github project :
Why bootchart2 ?
------------------
There are a number of interesting additional features:
* higher resolution - the taskstat interface gives nanosecond
timing information, where /proc/*/stat information is far,
far less reliable and useful.
* higher performance - the C re-write allows us to collect more
data, more quickly - sampling at ~50+Hz.
* using PROC_EVENTS we can determine accurate process parentage
without needing to use a (poorly maintained) 'acct' binary
* no Java dependency - with the visualisation in easy-to-hack
python, development is quicker, and dependencies more commonly
found.
* simpler wrappers - by using ptrace to connect to and extract
data from the collector, we no longer require a consistently
visible set of logs accessible via a shared file-system.
* built-in visualisation - allowing some level of interaction,
zoom and so on.
* better rendering - render to png, or svg, with added event
annotation support, and 'show more' functionality.
* cumulative, and total CPU time graphing in the boot-chart.
* and no doubt more by the time this is actually read.
That is: if bootchart is considered as a future no-go, then purge it
from Ubuntu archive; but Debian still has it (bootchart2) even if
systemd is/will be used (but not only). So to me, the most logical is to
switch to bootchart2.
