Upstream wants the package to be renamed to pahole. Citing Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>: Its minor but intentional, pahole is by far the most well known tool in dwarves, so using that name more frequently (the git repo is pahole.git , for instance) may help more quickly associate with the tool needed for BTF encoding, data analysis, etc. And since its not about only DWARF, perhaps transitioning to using 'pahole' more widely is interesting.
Just ran into another confused person, who did not expect to find pahole in dwarves. So I'd say - rename it. a lot of dist-kernels ebuilds depend on it for USE=debug, but ofc we can adjust the dep easily (added to CC)
also 1.21 is out which can check LTO information, found that useful. so maybe bump as well as pahole-1.21 ? and last-rite as existing one as 1.21 gets stable.
Package move implemented with commit 56a33b831f6ca1afd71a0e66f397c0ff5dcc1a97 See https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=56a33b831f6ca1afd71a0e66f397c0ff5dcc1a97 Bump to 1.21 not yet done. Needs testing.
