This one should be quite straight forward. There is already version
check for the create_session command I think. Here is your starting
point.

lttng-tools:
* src/bin/lttng-relayd/cmd-*
* src/bin/lttng-relayd/main.c

That would be some work on removing tests that are not used at all in
the lttng-ust code repository and I think there is still old test using
UST 0.x but that are simply not compiled.

lttng-ust:
* tests/

That's a bigger one actually. You'll need to create a new command to
lttng command line (lttng status) and print some information on the
current session, maybe the state of the sessiond and relayd. The
behavior is still undefined here so maybe not the easier one to choose
:).

This one is babeltrace specific so I can't help you. Jérémie or Mathieu
or Julien might be able to help you out here.

We are in the 2.5 development cycle right now so features like the one
above are actually quite welcome!

So you could do bug hunting as well meaning you use lttng, try to
bend/break it quite a bit and see if there are unexpected results. Going
through our bugtracker also with the ones flagged Bug will also work
quite well :).

Hope this help! Also, come on IRC in #lttng on OFTC network.

Cheers!
David
