I should have asked this question in a more general way. When we
find bugs in the cvs version of systemtap, then discover it appears
in specific distro releases as well, what's the preferred way of
handling it? [...]



For the near future, RHEL and FC systemtap releases will each be
nearly-identical snapshots of the development tree.  This means that
if one gets a bug fix, they all will get the same bug fix at the same
time.  Tracking this with multiple bug reports in multiple systems
seems excessive to me.

I think i understand but i wanted to make it more explicit based on your above answer, in every version of RHEL we will update entire SystemTap RPM set, including tapsets. Am i right? What about ELF utils? Are we doing a whole sale replacement of the same?

Thanks,
