Arch Linux

Oh, great! Thank you a lot. Disowning it now...

I can take it

New upstream release (3.7.4). Is anybody perhaps willing to take over maintenance? I am not using collectl any more (lack of need, interest and time).

new upstream release. I've also tried to incorporate the "eliminate-defined-error" which adambot's patch was adresssing and to catch all path issues (move everything to /usr/bin). Hopefully it works.

Here's a patch that i ended up making that helped with some issues:

Since, to the best of my knowledge, there is no recommended dependencies field, I have left ethtool as an optdepends (and added a 'recommended' there).

New upstream release (3.6.5); also, the PKGBUILD now modifies the /etc/collectl.conf file to take account of grep and lspci paths, and the suggested COLLECTL_OPTS=-D as well as the systemd service file have been added.

When using cpu there is an error. either formatit.ph needs a patch to look at grep in /usr/bin or a symbolic link needs to be made from /usr/bin/grep to /bin/grep

Command to reproduce issue:
collectl -scC

Please add the following systemd service:

[Unit]
Description=Performance data collection for a number of subsystems
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
PIDFile=/var/run/collectl.pid
EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/collectl.conf
ExecStart=/usr/bin/collectl $COLLECTL_OPTS /etc/collectl.conf

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Also, /etc/conf.d/systemd.conf should have the following change:
COLLECTL_OPTS=-D

Finally, Please make ethtool either a required or recommended dependency

Thanks!

new upstream release (3.6.3).

and I've made a release with inetutils as optdepends, since that provides the hostname binary.
