kdump configuration
-------------------

This package consists of:

  - kdumptool, a tool to
      o identify a kernel,
      o save a dump over various transports (local file, SSH2, FTP, NFS, SMB),
      o copy the kernel including debugging information,
      o delete old dumps,
      o read the VMCOREINFO (see *makedumpfile*(8) of kernel core dumps),
      o show the progress over the keyboard LED.
  - udev rules,
  - initrd support files (setup script, boot script, generation script),
  - init script,
  - configuration file,
  - documentation.

It's designed to take the whole dump in a special initramfs.

Requirements:

  - libelf (http://directory.fsf.org/project/libelf/),
  - libssh2 (http://www.libssh2.org/),
  - libcurl (http://curl.haxx.se/),
  - asciidoc (http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/),
  - cmake (http://www.cmake.org/).

It's maintained in a Mercurial (hg) tree at http://freehg.org/u/bwalle/kdump/.
