Thread: Dtrace docs for core docs?

Dtrace docs for core docs?

From
Josh Berkus
Date:
All,

I'm thinking that some amount of DTrace documentation ought to go into the
main docs.  I'm just not sure how much.

For reference, I have Robert's intro:
http://pgfoundry.org/docman/view.php/1000163/230/PostgreSQL-DTrace-Users-Guide.pdf

Plus several sample DScripts.

I'm not sure how much I should be writing up for the main docs and how much
keeping on the DTrace project page.  Help?

I think pretty much all of it.

Ok, will work on formatting it.  I'll try to make it more about DTrace as
an example of the GMF than anything else.

BTW, is the Dtrace build docs straightened out, or do I still need to patch
it?  i.e. does it acurrately reflect that you need Solaris 10 update3 or
OpenSolaris to build, currently?
