[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: procps-ng 4.0.1-1

[Achim Gratz]

The package procps-ng has been updated to its latest upstream version.

This package provides command line and full screen utilities for
browsing procfs, a pseudo file system dynamically generated by the
kernel to provide information about the status of entries in its process
table (such as whether the process is running, stopped, or a zombie).

It contains free, prockill, pkill, pgrep, pmap, procps, tload, top,
uptime, vmstat, w, and watch.

Hi Achim,

Thanks for the update. I noticed the procps(1) manpage has gone
missing, although there is a procps(3) for the libproc API now.

I gather libproc has been rolled into the procps-ng package? It still
pulls in libprocps8 at version 3.3.17-1 as a dependency, but I guess
that's due to a setup.exe limitation?

Regards,
Andy

Hmm.  The man page exists and gets built (albeit as ps.1), but not
installed apparently.  I'll have to check why that is happening and if
it's a bug or just some missing configuration.

No.  Part of the 4.x branch is that the library has been renamed
libproc2 and it continues to be available as a separate package.

Huh?  It doesn't do that here, which package has that dependency on your
installation?

Achim.

Thanks for clarifying.

I can't reproduce it either, so apologies for the false alarm.
