  Description     : PM performance analysis

This package is designed to assist kernel and OS developers in
optimizing their linux stack's boot and suspend/resume time.
It includes two tools: bootgraph and sleepgraph, which use
dmesg and ftrace data to create timelines of kernel boot and
suspend/resume respectively. The timelines provide a detailed
view of which devices/subsystems are taking the most time in
boot and suspend/resume.

The source tree already includes the requisite debian files.
The 4.6 release is the first which can be made into a package.
I need a sponsor to look it over and add it to the debian repo.

I understand. I originally tagged it as ITP because I wanted to own it
but require a sponsor. If you require a sponsor is ITP even allowed?

yes, I would think so. you can create a Debian package even if you're
not part of Debian per se, and then the sponsor is the person who
actually reviews the work and uploads it in Debian.

So in that sense, yes, it makes sense for an ITP to require a sponsor.

This looks like a really interesting tool, are you still planning on
packaging it?

A.

I've kept the debian folder mostly up to date so it's still capable of
being packaged. I include the source in the linux kernel source tree in
the tools folder, but I would very much like to see this thing show up
on ubuntu with an apt-cache search. If I could get a sponsor I'd be
happy to work with them.
