Hi Nick,

Thanks again for the help with this.

We came up with the following one liner for the list. I've used
the same HTML format as used for the other entries:

  gprofng - Collects and displays application performance data.


   also we might want to change the one liner on 
https://sourceware.org/binutils/ to match the new one above.


   thank you

Related to this, we were wondering if we can get a gprofng page on

https://sourceware.org/projects.html

We would like to provide practical information to the users, along the
lines of what the glibc folks are doing:

https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html

Kind regards, Ruud

Hi Ruud,


Since we are now part of the GNU binutils 2.39 release, I wonder
if gprofng can be added to the list on the main binutils web site:

Doh!  Sorry - this is my bad.  I should have thought to ask you.


https://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/
If this is possible, please advise how to proceed.

Take a slice of lemon, wrap it around a gold brick and, oh no, sorry,
that is the recipe for a pan galactic gargle blaster.  Ahem.

If you can tell me what you want to say I will add it to the page.
Even better if you can provide me with some HTML formatted text I
can just insert it at the proper place.

Cheers
  Nick

I have replaced the previous description of gprofng with this line.


    great




Related to this, we were wondering if we can get a gprofng page on

href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sourceware.org/projects.html__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!NNcLOUkmiDN7HSfZ_OLCmdPO5qzG4fsmuLyUrkpN4ZQHQsGr552XVvVleKFcBBP2Qh554Ksd-wqkheI$";>https://sourceware.org/projects.html


Probably - but you will have to ask the overse...@sourceware.org for 
that.


Unless you want it to be a sub-page of the binutils page that is. If you
do want to take this route then all you really need is write access to 
the

sourceware site and you can make your own changes.  (Ideally coordinating
with me... :-)


    I did inquire with the overseers about what was possible 
approximately two months ago and they suggested it would be best under 
binutils.


    A few things we are thinking would help gprofng:
    - a gprofng FAQ where questions could be answered and recorded 
for users or developers
    - pointers to useful gprofng presentations that were recorded 
by conferences
    - helpful info to support developers interested in porting 
gprofng to new platforms


    These would likely be asynchronously and incrementally changing as 
there are new questions asked or new presentations


    Do other binutils projects provide this sort of info somewhere?

    If this might be too much we could ask for a savannah.org project 
page, put this sort of info there,

    and link to it from sourceware.org?

to match the new one above.


Actually it works the other way around.  I only have access to the 
sourceware

site, so I make the changes there and then ask the FSF webmasters to copy
over the changes to the href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.gnu.org__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!NNcLOUkmiDN7HSfZ_OLCmdPO5qzG4fsmuLyUrkpN4ZQHQsGr552XVvVleKFcBBP2Qh554Ksdc8nhXsk$";>www.gnu.org 
site.


(Just to confirm, this is what I have done with the updated 
description of

gprofng - ie updated the sourceware site and asked the FSF to copy the
changes).


    thank you!
