Name        : pcp
Product     : Fedora 18
Version     : 3.6.9
Release     : 1.fc18
URL         : http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp
Summary     : System-level performance monitoring and performance management
Description :
Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) provides a framework and services to support
system-level performance monitoring and performance management.

The PCP open source release provides a unifying abstraction for all of
the interesting performance data in a system, and allows client
applications to easily retrieve and process any subset of that data.

Update Information:

Update to latest PCP sources, and resolve these bugzillas:
- Fix pmcd sigsegv in NUMA/CPU indom setup (BZ 858384)
- Fix sar2pcp uninitialised perl variable warning (BZ 859117)
- Fix pcp.py and pmcollectl with older python versions (BZ 852234)

- 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.
