I thought the raison d'être was that procps, by using the /proc interface, would not be intertwined with the kernel anymore... I didn't suggest to move it into another package, btw: the procps package should just be in the Base group to ensure it is in all installs. > It also replaces a ps using internal functionality with a ps which > uses the /proc emulation layer, which *is* slower. I can't think of a problem created by that fact (which doesn't mean that none exist). > What about patching Cygwin's ps to add the required functionality? > SHTDI, of course... Again, I just think procps is good enough for us as is, it is good enough for Linux anyway. :-) Regards, Achim.
