vm04 has been happily building PCP and running QA for years .. I was expecting that to continue. But alas, ...

First there was a perl(JSON) dependency that seems to have been recently added ... yum was able to fix that.

But this next one seems unfixable.

error: Failed build dependencies:
        qt4-devel >= 4.4 is needed by pcp-3.10.2-1.i386
make: *** [pack_pcp] Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/home/kenj/src/pcp/pcp-3.10.2/build/rpm'

Nothing to do

If we decided to move the qt components forward to the point where they won't work with qt 4.2 (assuming dependency in the spec file is correct), then I think those parts of PCP should be conditional so we can still build the core non-gui parts successfully after some dancing around configure.
