Hello! Is there a plan to submit this to Factory? It is necessary to have it (and libtracefs) for building KernelShark 2, which I am planning to package and submit to Factory ASAP.

I'd be up with helping to maintain the package in Factory, if that helps.

I'd forgotten I'd submitted it before and it was rejected as perf was still providing the same files. I just pushed libtraceevent again plus a perf change

Great, and thanks! So, basically, for packaging the next version of KernelShark (and, I believe, of trace-cmd too) we need both libtraceevent and libtracefs. In fact, I have an SR to update it to latest upstream too, and was then planning to submit it to factory as well.

@jones_tony question: I see that we have this in the spec file:

%files -n %{soname}-plugins %dir %{_libdir}/%{sodname} %dir %{_libdir}/%{sodname}/plugins %{_libdir}/%{sodname}/plugins/*.so

This means we put plugins in /usr/lib64/traceevent1/plugins (because we use %{sodname}, which is %{dname}+%{sonum}).

Shouldn't they go in /usr/lib64/libtraceevent/plugins, i.e., shouldn't we just use %dname there?
