[pcp-announce] pcp-3.6.6 released

[Nathan Scott <nathans@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

A new PCP release has been tagged in the PCP git tree, and binary
builds have been uploaded to oss.sgi.com for general consumption.
There's one known issue with the new python pmcollectl(1) utility
not working with the python-2.4 in RHEL5 (its known good with more
recent versions, like python-2.7 in RHEL6).  We'll address that in
the next release.

pcp-3.6.6 (28 August 2012)
    - Added the python PMAPI bindings and an initial python client
      in pmcollectl.  Separate, new package exists for python libs
      for those platforms that split out packages (rpm, deb).
    - Added a pcp-testsuite package for those platforms that might
      want this (rpm, deb again, mainly)
    - Re-introduced the pcp/qa subdirectory in pcp and deprecated
      the external pcpqa git tree.
    - Fix potential buffer overflow in pmlogger host name handling.
    - Reworked the configure --prefix handling to be more like the
      rest of the open source world.
    - Ensure the __pmDecodeText ident parameter is always set
      Resolves Red Hat bugzilla bug #841306.


Enjoy!
