Howdy, looking at the mailing list link you sent, there certainly didn't seem
like agreement. There was more a suggestion to use and existing library. What
will make your library different and at what point is your library currently?
Ie do you have any code created? If so can you provide links and documentation?

We get lots of requests at FD.o for projects so we have to make sure requests
are viable.

Sorry the delay, i have been out most of the summer.

I have recently published the version 0.2 of this library, it's called
libsysactivity and it's placed here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/libsysactivity/

I just think it should be in fd.o because it's usable by all the desktops.

You can also check the documentation here:

Please, let me know if you have any doubt.

Let me ask Benoît Dejean, the libgtop maintainer (libgtop is the library that
we use for this in GNOME). I'm not sure he has an account on this bugzilla, so
I'll send him a mail.

Btw, Carlos, any chance you already contacted Benoit?

I've just pointed both Benoit and ksysguardd maintainer (John Tapsell) to this
bug so i guess they will talk here soon.

Hello everyone,

libgtop is not perfect, but it already provides good support for many
platforms. I never found the time to revive the network code that would fully
make it able to replace the ksysguardd backend.

I know the ksysguardd backend, i know it's problem, everything is mixed while
libgtop has everything nicely split. Rewriting everything and providing a
working port for linux/*bsd/solaris is a __HUGE__ work.

Also, it is very important to design an API that's not too linuxish because it
would make the port harder. But on the other hand, splitting the API often
provides lower performance. For example, you can retrieve memory usage and swap
at once on many systems, but if you split the API like libgtop does, you're
going to do 2x the work.

There's a lot of work to be done around libgtop, maybe it's to soon to kill it.

libsysactivity is not complete but we can hold things until it's ready and plan
on it. In fact, i have to say that linux/FreeBSD/Sun OS support is already done
and i'm working hard on Open/NetBSD and windows support, so the huge work is
almost done!

The main difference between libsysactivity and libgtop/ksysguardd is that it
was planned with a desktop-independent idea in mind. The API is there, you can
see what i mean ;)
