Hi All, It's probably time to consider when the next newlib release will be out. I believe we've fixed the issues for Cygwin and SuSE and been able to add some nice new top features to boot, as well as documenting at 20+ year old flag in ps. I've opened issue #239 on gitlab at https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/issues/239 that is used to track programs that use the old procps library. The intent of this issue is to assist those projects on using the new API. Not sure if X0rg, the maintainer of cpu-x, is here but top marks for actually having the new API in your code already. The idea is to have this list so we know what there is out there and where they are at for the change. The list is currently based upon what packages in Debian depend on libprocps which makes my job in Debian easier for the libproc-2 transition but might mean there are other packages out there that should be on the list. So the list is: * Apitrace * cpu-x * deepin-screen-recorder * intel-gpu-tools * veyon-plugins Any more out there? Most will use the pids sub-API with apitrace using look_up_ourself() which I forgot was even a thing! - Craig -- Craig Small https://dropbear.xyz/ csmall at : dropbear.xyz Debian GNU/Linux https://www.debian.org/ csmall at : debian.org GPG fingerprint: 5D2F B320 B825 D939 04D2 0519 3938 F96B DF50 FEA5
