Frank,
Thanks for this.
I'm starting to test this in the QA farm, but need to understand what
you'd expect ... I'm using your pcpfans branch and the Makepkgs script
there.
For Fedora 15 the differences in the contents of the rpms between
pcpfans (new) and pcp (orig) are as per the attachment.
pcp-*.src.rpm - no surprises
pcp-*.x86_64.rpm
* init scripts from /etc/rc.d/init -> /etc/sysconfig
* /usr/include/ stuff added - should not be in this rpm? and
should be /usr/include/pcp?
* stuff in /usr/share/doc instead of /usr/share/doc/pcp-<version>
* bash pmda diffs - ignore these, the pcp code base has moved on
* ditto for pmdaEventNewActiveQueue.3.gz
* logs moved from /var/log/pcp to /var/lib/pcp/log
pcp-libs-*.x86_64.rpm
* builddefs and buildrules omitted (in base rpm)
pcp-libs-devel-*.x86_64.rpm
* /usr/include/pcp headers omitted (in base rpm)
perl-PCP-LogImport-*.x86_64.rpm
perl-PCP-MMV-*.x86_64.rpm
perl-PCP-PMDA-*.x86_64.rpm
* perl modules moved from ./usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/PCP
to ./usr/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/PCP
* perl man page moved from ./usr/share/man/man3 to ./usr/man/man3
perl-PCP-LogSummary-*.x86_64.rpm
* perl modules moved from ./usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/PCP
to ./usr/lib/perl5/PCP
* perl man page moved from ./usr/share/man/man3 to ./usr/man/man3
Are these all expected? Some of them don't seem right to me.
And the second platform was SuSE where the changes are even larger, but
let's work through the Fedora ones first.
eek
