[ltt-dev] Packages in the Ubuntu LTTng PPA

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to announce the release of Ubuntu packages for the different 
LTTng projects, available in the team's PPA at:

https://launchpad.net/~lttng/+archive/ppa

Included are packages for lttv, ust (called ust-bin), ltt-control 
(called ltt-bin) and liburcu, for both Lucid and Maverick. Now that 
everything is set up, it should be fairly simple to track the future 
releases and make them available in the PPA. Big thanks to Jon Bernard 
for some of the original Debian packages, which were quite simple to update.


Known caveats:
- No man page yet for LTTV
- No kernel package yet. However, the recent (re)modularization of LTTng 
should make it quite simpler to build the Ubuntu kernel with the LTTng 
patches. A package for a patched Maverick kernel (2.6.35) is next on the 
list, as time allows.


A note for TMF users:
Those who wish to install the TMF Eclipse framework can now simply add 
the PPA and install the "liblttvtraceread" package. Since the libraries 
will be installed in /usr/lib, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH tango isn't needed 
anymore.


Testing and feedback is very welcome!

Alexandre
