In a really brief discussion with mort we wondered in pmdumptext doesn't
really belong in pcp rather than in the gui.  Nathan?

This thread discusses the reasons for this slightly quirky move:
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/pcp/2009-02/msg00001.html

Upshot is, pmdumptext now depends on Qt4 libraries, and we were
able to consolidate two libraries, hundreds of lines of code, &
improve portability in doing so.


Ah.  Thanks.  Obviously I had forgotten that I read that.

There should be a pcp-gui specfile snag to trip you up when you
try to install pcp-gui on top of older pcp ... didn't that work?
Hmm, maybe I only did that for the Debian packages - lemme take
a closer look.

Certainly rpm complains properly about it.


cheers.
