OK great! When I have the final 2.1.4 SRPM, if you wouldn't mind,
I'll get you to build the binary RPM and make it available. thanks.

You should add a new PMDA for the ppc temperature metrics. See the
example source code for the "trivial" PMDA, in src/pmdas/trivial. There
is also the techpubs.sgi.com documentation for the "Performance Co-Pilot
Programmers Guide" (use that text in the search engine). It has detailed
instructions for writing a new PMDA.
