Description:

List of sysstat tools in the package description, the actual package contents and what the repository provides all seem to differ.

The description states: iostat, isag, mpstat, pidstat, sadf, sar

However, isag appears to be missing from the package and there are also more tools available in the 'contrib' directory of the repository: https://github.com/sysstat/sysstat/tree/370ad59826c2320288a1999ef9038e2a2655b8a0/contrib

These are irqstat, irqtop and sargraph. However, itqtop is provided by util-linux. At least irqstat and sargraph could be included in the sysstat package.

Additionally, the package already provides two more tools the description doesn't mention: cifsiostat and tapestat.

Last but not least, upstream URL needs an update as the original one is going offline. The new one is: https://github.com/sysstat/sysstat

Additional info:

  • package version: 12.7.2-1
