Depends on the Flamegraph git project based in the Center organization

[danicheg]

At the moment, scalac-profiling depends on the fork of Flamegraph, which is seemingly abandoned and hasn't been updated for 5+ years. It'd be beneficial if someone could create a fresh fork based in the Center organization. Who can assist with that? cc @SethTisue @sjrd

curious what the nature of the changes is... is it anything that could be upstreamed?

1. Update the Flamegraph library we depend on.
2. Generally be able to develop/update our fork on demand. It's barely that Jorge is interested in it.
3. Cut down the abandoned dependencies.

@SethTisue any thoughts on this?

what I meant by this was, what is the nature of the changes that Jorge made in the fork? perhaps Jorge's changes could be submitted to https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph and if they were merged, then having a fork would no longer be necessary

seems reasonable to me (even as a temporary measure if we also pursue the upstreaming idea), but I don't have admin rights in scalacenter/*, so @sjrd would have to take care of it

@sjrd would you mind taking a look at this issue?

[sjrd]

I'm on sick leave this week so I can't really look into stuff. But if you tell me exactly what you need me to do I can do it. Or ask someone else with admin rights on scalacenter, such as @adp2 or @anatoliykmetyuk

@sjrd Be well soon! I'm wondering about doing these two particular things:

1. Fork the https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph into Center Github org;
2. Create a branch scala-compilation based on the master branch and push it into the origin.

I will do the rest of the stuff. It'd be great if you folks @adpi2 @anatoliykmetyuk could do that. Thank you!

[sjrd]

I forked FlameGraph and made you Maintainer, like for this repo. As far I can tell that should let you do step 2 yourself. (I did not truly understand what branch from what repo to push to what branch?)

Cool, thanks again.
