I had a look at pcp on deb's popularity site. The numbers
are dismal - couldn't fill a bus.
Do the PCP docs get distributed with Suse and Deb?
Or are there simply pointers back to techpubs?
So regarding PCP in distros ...
Debian is up-to-date
Suse needs a refresh
Fedora and Rhel need to eat their veggies.
Ubuntu is ok? or needs?
Is there some particular reason pcp has never been in
rhel/centos? It seems an odd omission.
And KDB seems an odd omission. I can't count the times and
places we've wanted simply a KDB enabled version of the
vanilla kernel. You don't need it often, but when you need it,
you really need it - like a good tire iron. It would be nice if they
included a debug kernel in each distro.

You touch on another interesting point. I'm wondering what
the usership demographics are for PCP. How many sites,
machines, downloads, etc.
I have no idea on the numbers there. Noone does I guess, as
is there any way to access the "popularity contest" info from debian?
PCP is available in some distros (Debian & SuSE at least) so
its not really possible to count downloads.
John Hesterberg pointed out to me today that the PCP in OpenSuse is
2.5.0. I want to update that...
I wonder if someone would be interested in working with the Fedora
community to get PCP into that distribution, then PCP would be in the
three biggest (and four really, because of Ubuntu) distros.
