Re: [pcp] python bindings

[Nathan Scott <nathans@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Mark,

---

And regarding perl, that reminds me: the PCP base package ships
numerous PMDAs written in perl, but we only have soft deps. This
has already bitten Nathan recently, and will no doubt bite others
too. So either we split out those pmdas into yet another subpackage,
or add explicit install deps for pcp : perl-pcp-PMDA

The only way to resolve the issue that bit me is using separate perl PMDA
packages.  That way, each PMDA package contains its own dependencies;
the JSON library on pmdaelasticsearch.pl was what bit me, but obviously
each of the database PMDAs has its own set of dependencies, and SNMP,
vmware,... all each have their own - we cannot have pcp depending on all
of these exotic perl modules.

cheers.
