I tend to agree on that point, with one caveat - we need to have good
documentation on how to do systemtap debugging of libvirt, in order to
make it easy to point someone to the steps they need to follow to
benefit from it. Our existing web pages on hacking are a bit sparse on
this front.
OK, thanks for your input. My point was to enable this for people who
don't want to (or can't) use systemtap for various reasons, but I guess
nobody can be *that* lazy to do 'package_app install_command systemtap'
and then cleanup afterwards.
I like your idea of explaining systemtap debugging with libvirt on
wiki/documentation. I'll try to combine it with additional systemtap
examples and put it all together somehow. But I need you to check my
grammar, since it tends to be a longer text.
Thanks again and have a nice day,
Martin
