Hi all,
I'm very pleased to let everyone know that SGI is making
the content of the PCP books available to the community
under an open license! Many thanks to Corneliu Boac,
Jeff Hanson, Chris Wengelski and the folks in SGI legal
who have worked toward this on behalf of the community.
The content is available to us under the CC-SA license
(Creative Commons Attribution - Share Alike), and it is
initially being housed in a new "pcp-books" repository
on oss.sgi.com:
git clone git://oss.sgi.com/pcp/pcp-books.git
This contains all of the content to two books, namely:
Performance Co-Pilot Users and Administrators Guide
Performance Co-Pilot Programmers Guide
Special thanks are also due to Frank Eigler from Red Hat
for making the content buildable with open toolchains.
Refer to the README files Frank has created alongside the
book content describing several available build options.
There are many areas where we have updated the core PCP
code that requires corresponding updates in these books.
If anyone would like to contribute updates to any of the
areas they coded or know well, please coordinate with me
(preferably CC'ing the pcp@xxxxxxxxxxx mailing list too)
as some updates are already in-progress.
Once again - thanks SGI, on behalf of everyone!
cheers.
