This message is to announce the availability of prepackaged binaries
of PCP 2.5.0 and PCPMon 1.3.4 for Fedora 4 and MacOS 10.3 and 10.4

The packages, sources, docs, etc. are available from:
http://reliable.sourceforge.net
http://sourceforge.net/projects/reliable

Packages for additional platforms are in the works.  Your early
questions, comments, and feedback will be most helpful and welcome.

This PCP 2.5.0 distribution contains modifications not found in SGI's
original PCP 2.5.0 sources. Source code and details of the individual
changes can be obtained by visiting:
http://reliable.sourceforge.net/pcp/build_info/pcp_2_5_0.html

Generally speaking, the differences are:
* Fixed MacOS X compilation errors
* Fixed MacOS X PMDA network routines to also work on MacOS 10.4
* Added files and scripts for packaging and installation on MacOS X
* Added and lightly refurbished Michal Kara's MySQL PMDA, previously
  moribund, so PCP can now provide a LAMP monitoring solution.

This is the first release of PCPMon since version 1.3.3 was released
by Michal Kara in 2001. Source Code and details of the individual
changes can be obtained by visiting:
http://reliable.sourceforge.net/pcp/build_info/pcpmon_1_3_4.html

Generally speaking the differences are:
* Ported to MacOS X
* Added help menu items linking to additional web documentation
* Fixed autotools build process
* Fixed several runtime hangs and crashes
* Added several loadable config files for easily displaying
  common metric graphs

Cheers,
