RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Building a pcp client application out-of-tree naturally requires
the pcp-libs-devel package to provide headers/libraries.  However,
as of git pcp, this subrpm requires:

pcp
pcp-libs

(rhel 7.2 pcp is even worse dependency-wise, with the pcp-compat stuff,
but that is going away.)

The former of these dependencies is excessive, and brings in many
binaries, services, etc., that are irrelevant to the task of building
a pmapi program.  If there -is- something in the pcp subrpm that
is required, it should be moved into -libs or -libs-devel.

Fixed upstream in commit: dc89e74e859f8b4c0a0ea0323614b716a569e3a6
RPM Packaging - new pcp-devel package with tools/docs

Leave pcp-libs-devel for just the libs and header files,
push devel pmdas and tools into pcp-devel and adjust the deps
accordingly

Verified for build pcp-3.11.3-3.el7.
