[new package] qps process monitor (v1.9.7)

darose · 2004-08-13 14:23:53

New package: The Qps visual process monitor. (http://www.student.nada.kth.se/~f91-men/qps/) Really nice tool!

PKGBUILD:

# Qps GUI-based process monitor

# Contributor: David Rosenstrauch <darose@darose.net>

# Note:    This PKGBUILD includes a patch from Debian
#    (http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qps/qps_1.9.7.0-3.diff.gz)
#    (which in turn appears to rely on a patch from SuSe)
#    that allows Qps to be built against Qt version 3.
#
#    (Last version of the (no longer supported?) upstream source only builds against Qt2)
#
#    Much gratitude to the Debian (and SuSe) folks for doing that heavy lifting!

Just curious: has anyone checked this out? If so, did you find it useful?

I've used gps for a while now, mainly because I couldn't find a PKGBUILD for qps. So, thanks!

Short question, though--where do I get debian-to-arch-patch.diff?

I'm willing to try qps (seems like a good X tool) but, unfortunately, the PKGBUILD is not complete. It should contain in the sources array all the patches, so that everything works out of the box.

The patch files don't have their own URL, so you can't just use the PKGBUILD file I posted by itself. You need to grab qps-1.9.7-1.tar.gz out of incoming; it will contain all the needed files.
