Re: [Crash-utility] git repositories for gcore/trace commands under crash-utility project
Hi Hatayama-san, Lianbo, Bhupesh,
Lianbo, thanks for your thoughts, I think we agree.
Bhupesh, if you have any concerns from Red Hat's view point,
please let us know.

That's great!
So, is it OK to think that you have accepted to make another git
repository of trace.c? If so, I'll next make it actually and then
inform of it to you later.
Yes, please proceed.
After that, we will need to do some changes, e.g. remove extensions/trace.c
from the crash repository and modify related parts.
As for moving the extension repositories into the crash utility project, I also
don't think it's preferable, because to have an extension's repository might
imply some responsibility for it. We provide the extension modules page [1]
for them, but are not going to broaden the scope for now.
