Comment 2 Nathan Scott 2020-03-10 02:31:01 UTC

This issue was resolved some time ago by removing compatibility code in PCP v5 - all current Fedora versions are unaffected by the issue.

    build: drop old config file transition code from rpm specs
    
    Its been many years since this transition was done, good time
    now with pcp-5.0.0 to full this old shell code.  Also remove
    the Fedora crontab transition logic as thats completely moved
    over to systemd now.
