Details

An updated version of Frysk's technology preview is now available.

Frysk is an execution-analysis technology implemented using native Java and
C++. It is aimed at providing developers and sysadmins with the ability to
both examine and analyze running multi-host, multi-process, multi-threaded
systems. Frysk allows the monitoring of running processes and threads, of
locking primitives and will also expose deadlocks, gather data and debug
any given process in the system.

Users are encouraged to find more information and provide feedback on the
technology preview at the Frysk project web site:
http://sources.redhat.com/frysk

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4 includes an updated technology preview
release of Frysk. Stability improvements were gained by building Frysk with
the updated GCC 4.1 technology preview compiler.

Note that this technology preview release of Frysk is not supported for use
in production environments, and that Frysk interfaces and APIs are subject
to change during the technology preview phase. A fully supported release
of Frysk is planned for future releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Users interested in previewing in non-production environments should
upgrade to these new packages.
