Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora

Description: This package contains the bpftool, which allows inspection and
simple manipulation of eBPF programs and maps.
Fedora Account System Username: vmalik
bpftool is not a new package, it is currently built as a part of kernel RPM
build (because its source files are a part of the kernel source tree). This is
a request to move it to a separate package which will be built from the
official GitHub mirror [1].
There are two main reasons for this change:
1. bpftool version is independent of the kernel and having it in the kernel
spec causes all kinds of problems,
2. bpftool is loosely coupled to the libbpf library which is also packaged
separately [2].
This change is accompanied by removing bpftool package build from kernel
specfile [3].
