Hi all,
We've been working on improving the ways in which you can install new
versions of PCP. Previously we provided a handful of binary package
builds via ftp on www.pcp.io but that has proved problematic for many
new users. We especially noticed that many folks trying out Vector
didn't have a good experience with getting PCP built, up and running.
So, we'll now be serving builds of new releases via:
https://bintray.com/pcp
(thanks to Martin and Scott @Netflix for putting us onto this service)
This lets us provide pre-built packages for any distribution and in a
way that people are familiar with - yum for rpms, apt-get for debs and
so on. In the not-too-distant-future, Docker images and also Solaris
binaries (from pcp-3.10.6 onward) will appear there too.
Released pcp-3.10.5 binaries are now available there for:
- Debian7, Debian8 (wheezy and jessie)
- Fedora21, Fedora22
- Mac OS X (10.5 onward)
- OpenSUSE13
- RHEL5, RHEL6, RHEL7
- Ubuntu14.04, Ubuntu15.04 LTS (trusty and vivid)
For the Debian and RPM distributions, you can follow the bintray.com-
supplied instructions via the "Set Me Up" link under each distribution
(top right corner of each distribution/package page).
Please let me know if you hit any obstacles, or if you have any other
feedback - thanks! There is still some work to be done to get these
new repositories completely polished in terms of the gpg key signing,
but I expect that to be corrected over time.
cheers.
