The new version of trace-cmd (starting with 2.9.3, and is currently at 3.1) requires libtraceevent as it is no longer supplied by the trace-cmd repository. libtraceevent is also used by other applications including perf. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: N/A Actual Results: N/A Expected Results: N/A I'm the maintainer of both trace-cmd and libtraceevent. I would like to have it added to gentoo. I'm willing to maintain the gentoo package, although I'm new to gentoo and will probably make lots of mistakes doing so.
Please provide an ebuild, preferably via a github pull request.
