Hello,  
I want to install percona playback tool by Percona Software Repositories for it , but it appears that `percona-playback` package is not available in the Percona repository for Ubuntu 20.04 (focal), I was not able to install that way. I was searching but did not find info, is it available for Ubuntu 20.04 (focal)?

@Vadim_Yalovets Hello, thanks for your response. It might be hard for me to compile it from source code, are you using this tool actively and if yes on which distribution?

@Nanuka Unfortunately percona-playback is not an official tool that we support. If you notice, the most recent commit on the github was over 7 years ago. If you want to use it, you must compile it yourself for your OS and your MySQL version. We do not provide packages.

@Nanuka, if you just want simple query playback from a slow log, use [https://docs.percona.com/percona-toolkit/pt-upgrade.html](https://docs.percona.com/percona-toolkit/pt-upgrade.html)
