Hi,

PCP package names used in openSUSE 12.1 were raised as a concern due to
lack of compatibility with RHEL/Fedora package names.

Mark suggested using the upstream spec file as a template for a generic
cross distribution version, for which I've come up with the following:

        http://www.samba.org/~ddiss/pcp.spec

Feedback appreciated.

Hi David, I'll need to run some Fedora and RHEL builds, but it looks
pretty good so far - the macro approach is good. More feedback once I've
had time to run some builds.

I did notice %{_localstatedir}/run/pcp was omitted. Is that because
/var/run on SLES is now a tmpfs mount? The Fedora directive here was to use
%ghost %{_localstatedir}/run/pcp

Also, we're going to need to split out the perl PMDAs from the base package
sometime soon (the base package is inheriting unwanted install deps). I guess
we may want to go the same route as the pcp-import-* sub-packaging, which is
a lot less painful nowdays with tools like yum and yast etc.

Cheers
