Package: sysstat
Version: 6.0.0-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Having recently upgraded from 5.0.6 to 6.0.0, I think the upgrade could
be handled a bit better. For example, a NEWS.Debian mentioning that the
sadf command has taken over some of the output functionality of sar.

Also, it seems that sa1 no longer collects disk statistics by default -
it needs to be called with -d. I know I was getting disk statistics
before, so this was a bit of a srurpise when I no longer had any disk
statistics.

Finally, it would be nice if there was a way of converting the old log
files to the new format. In my case, it wasn't a big deal, because I
throw them into a database once a day, so I only lost part of a day's
worth of logfiles, but this could be really annoying if someone upgrades
towards the end of the month and they only post-process their logs at
the start of the month or something.

regards

Andrew
