-openSUSE has had LTTng packages since version 12.3. To install LTTng, you
-first need to add an entry to your repository configuration. All LTTng repositories
-are available
-<a href="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/lttng/" class="ext">here</a>.
-For example, the following commands adds the LTTng repository for
-openSUSE 13.1:
-
-<pre class="term">
-sudo zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/lttng/openSUSE_13.1/devel:tools:lttng.repo
-</pre>
-
-Then, refresh the package database:
-
-<pre class="term">
-sudo zypper refresh
-</pre>
-
-and install `lttng-tools`, `lttng-modules` and `lttng-ust-devel`:
-
-<pre class="term">
-sudo zypper install lttng-tools

-make menuconfig

-In:
-
- * _Kernel_: make sure _Linux kernel_ is enabled
- * _Toolchain_: make sure the following options are enabled:
- * _Enable large file (files > 2GB) support_
- * _Enable WCHAR support_
-

-
- * `lttng-tools`
- * `lttng-modules`
- * `lttng-ust`
-
-Using BitBake, the simplest way to include LTTng recipes in your
-target image is to add them to `IMAGE_INSTALL_append` in
-`conf/local.conf`:
-
-~~~ text
-IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " lttng-tools lttng-modules lttng-ust"

-If you're using Hob, click _Edit image recipe_ once you have selected
-a machine and an image recipe. Then, under the _All recipes_ tab, search
-for `lttng` and include the three LTTng recipes.
This chapter shows how to install the above packages on a Linux
system. The easiest way is to use the package manager of the system's
-distribution ([desktop](#doc-desktop-distributions) or
-[embedded](#doc-embedded-distributions)). Support is also available for
+[distribution](#doc-desktop-distributions. Embedded distributions
+(Buildroot and OpenEmbedded/Yocto) currently have no packages of
+LTTng 2.7 (LTTng 2.6 is available for both of them). Support is also
+available for
[enterprise distributions](#doc-enterprise-distributions), such as
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES).
