Subject: [Bug tapsets/26536] New: make it possible to have third-party add-on tapsets without conflicting with stap standard tapset

            Bug ID: 26536
           Summary: make it possible to have third-party add-on tapsets
                    without conflicting with stap standard tapset
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: tapsets
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

systemtap installs its own tapset/ under $prefix/..., aka. $SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET. 
Third party packages like ruby and python and .... also install extension
tapsets under the same path.  This is a problem if one has a private copy of
systemtap installed under a different $prefix, because then these third-party
tapsets are inaccessible.  Setting
$SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET=/usr/share/systemtap/tapset probably doesn't work for these,
because the distro version would not match the stap-version runtime/ or
translator.

So we need to somehow separate the two: third-party tapsets and
stap-accompanying tapsets.
