Hi,
I'm packaging trace-cmd 2.9 into Fedora.
Back in trace-cmd 2.8, all the plugins are under
$(libdir)/trace-cmd/plugins. While as of trace-cmd 2.9, I find the
traceevent plugins are installed in $(libdir) by default. This brings up
an interesting situation - the perf tool also contains a copy of the
traceevent in the same directory. So this means trace-cmd and perf have
file conflicts. In terms of packaging, this means users can only install
one of them, not in parallel (at least for Fedora). So I'd like to see
if there are existing proposals or suggestions for which one is expected
to be used by other utilities? Or is there any official plan to move one
of them to the other directory?
I'm copying Tzvetomir and Jiri as I think you're the first people for
getting the plugins in this directory for trace-cmd and perf respectively.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I just saw an email from Steven mentioning there will be a stand
alone libtraceevent. However I did not find it in git.kernel.org. So I
probably should ask if the stand alone version of libtraceevent is ready
now?
Thanks.

No but this gives me incentive to make it so very soon!

In anticipation of this change I temporary packaged (for ALT) traceevent
into %_libdir while keeping traceevent form perf in %_libexecdir (for a
backward compatibility).

Thanks for the info. I'll workaround this in trace-cmd then before it is
ready.

Hi Vitaly,
Thanks for the details. I will consider applying something similar to
what you did for trace-cmd before the new library is being used by both
in Fedora.
