Re: [Buildroot] [RFC PATCH v1 3/4] package/sysdig: remove package.

[Thomas Petazzoni via buildroot <buildroot@buildroot.org>]

Hello Francis,

I'm adding in Cc: Angelo who is also listed as a maintainer for this
package in our DEVELOPERS file. Angelo, any feedback?

See below.

But the package is working right now, isn't it? Did you try to update
it to a newer version and encountered some specific issues? If so,
which issues?

Maybe those issues should be communicated back to upstream, so that
they can improve how sysdig is provided/delivered? If something like
Buildroot can't package sysdig, maybe they will be interested in
hearing why?

How can you say it is "not really used"? We have no usage metrics for
packages, so really we have no idea of who uses sysdig.
