   But the latest (tcf-)lttng-agent is dated 2011-03-23:
http://git.dorsal.polymtl.ca/?p=lttng-agent.git;a=summary ! Additionally, the
git repository shows lttng-agent jumped from 2010-11-22 to 2011-03-17 ---there
is no "last February" version...Explain, please?

   Not on the linuxtools eclipse repository
(http://download.eclipse.org/technology/linuxtools/update)?  That's okay, I'd
much rather use a git repository anyway
(http://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.git/), for weird
firewall reasons...

   Yet another instance of fleeing forward --it had already taken me a while to
figure out that the packages I had been working with required Eclipse 3.6 Helios
(at the time Ubuntu was stopped at Ganymede)...So now I start over with 3.7
Indigo.   :-)

   Now, regarding TCF from http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/updates/indigo
: is that the same as
http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/dsdp/org.eclipse.tm.tcf/trunk (currently at
revision 1619, quite active)?
