Subject: O: memprof -- Memory profiler and leak detector

Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 18:08:09 -0500

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

memprof is now quite dated. The last release was 3 years ago (Aug 31,
2002). Anyone picking up this package will probably need to take up the
upstream fixing of bugs as well. Current upstream is at,

http://www.gnome.org/projects/memprof/

There are a number of much better memory checkers than memprof. For an
example, just look at valgrind. This package probably should be removed
from Debian if no one picks it up.


Description: Memory profiler and leak detector
 Memprof is a tool for profiling memory usage and detecting memory
 leaks. It can be used with existing binaries without need for
 recompilation.

No valgrid is completely different type of software. Memprof is nice
user-friendly, with gui etc... and It was useful :-P

If you check their mailing-list you'll find out  that there are some people
interested in developing memprof. 

Probably all current bugs can be fixed by applaying this patch:

I think we should remove memprof.

  * Orphaned for 202 days.
  * 2 RC bugs (unusable).
  * Graphical alternatives: alleyoop, kmtrace.
  * Last upstream release in 2002:
    <http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/memprof/0.5/memprof-0.5.1.tar.gz>
  * popcon: 457 installations, 72 votes.

Thanks,

Matej

Subject: Bug#324607: fixed

Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 05:20:29 -0800

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

   memprof |   0.5.1-12 | source, i386

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.

Packages are never removed from testing by hand.  Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 324607@bugs.debian.org.

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
ftpmaster@debian.org.
