(In reply to comment #5) > Would it be acceptable to ship ziomon in universe, instead of in main (and > thus installed by default)? ziomon does not need to be installed by default. It makes sense for SCSI-only and mixed SCSI/DASD installations. The documentation should be updated so that administrators, performance users know to install it when required. I presume you pursue the ziomon subpackage approach. > > The reason behind this is the dependency chain. > > The proposed patch adds a Depends on "blktrace", which is in universe, and > in turn depends on libtheora-bin & libav-tools (both in universe). On my Debian, it is strictly not a depends, rather than recommends: Package: blktrace State: not installed Version: 1.1.0-2 Priority: extra Section: utils Maintainer: Bas Zoetekouw <[email protected]> Architecture: s390x Uncompressed Size: 1075 k Depends: libaio1 (>= 0.3.93), libc6 (>= 2.15), python, lsb-base Recommends: libtheora-bin, libav-tools, librsvg2-bin Suggests: gnuplot-x11 > > libav-tools come from a highly vulnerable package, which Ubuntu Security > team deems as unsupportable. > > I shall look into unwinding / reducing these dependencies, to have a > possibility of including ziomon in main without the feature to generate > H.264 videos. I think that such low-level tools like blktrace should not install video-related packages. So if you have some time it would be great to rethink whether these dependencies/recommends are really necessary and makes sense? ** Tags added: bugnameltc-136380 severity-medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1540425 Title: install/ziomon: include FCP performance monitoring utilities in s390-tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/s390-tools/+bug/1540425/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
