Hi Bernard, you are right with ppc and ppc64 for Linux on PowerPC. Therefore, I am currently experiencing with "%ifos aix" etc. and I will let you know if this works better. I will also add an entry to %changelog as well as provide you with the context diff as requested in your other email o

Hi Andreas, actually, my implementation of the additional POWER5 metrics for AIX and Linux on POWER is fully compatible to the existing Ganglia metrics. All POWER5 specific metrics are additional but require some changes to protocol.x (and some other files) in order to make Ganglia aware of th

Hi Michael, I guess the POWER5 extensions would be good candidates for dynamic loading into the gmond stream. In any case, I see no reason not to keep them in the core code, even if they are not enabled by default. One thing that I like more with the current code are the "combined" functions fo

Hi Michael, hi Martin, since Michaels version is the more complete and more modern Version of the AIX metrics, i would agree. Maybe we even could find a way to integrate the partitioning stuff (Michael called it Power5 stuff) into Ganglia. Maybe the code could be optional, so the user can decide

Hi Michael: Quick comment -- you used "%ifarch ppc" to specify operations for AIX, however, doesn't Linux also support ppc? I know that for the newer PowerPC the arch is ppc64, not sure about the older ones though. P.S. Please also add an entry for %changelog. Thanks, Bernard On 4/2/07, Mich

Hi Bernard, ok, here you go the SPEC file as attachment. Some remarks still: a) Lines #39-#41 I couldn't get RPM v3.0.5 on AIX get to understand that "%if" directive, also when I googled I think that the "%if" statement is not supported with RPM v.3.05, so I commented those 3 lines for th

Hi Bernard, I took a closer look and though I think it could be done it might be very ugly for the following reasons: - AIX is still using RPM version 3.0.5 and I am not aware of any intentions to upgrade anytime soon - Like I said I think it could be consolidated, however, that would probab

Hi Michael: Any chance you can also work on merging the ganglia.aix.spec file back to the mainstream .spec file? I'm about to change configure.in to only include the specific spec file depending on the OS, but I think the better solution is just to merge the two. Right now I cannot just generat

Hi Martin, if possible I would like to somehow take my version (after some reviewing) :-), as it contains all the new POWER5 stuff already. My understanding is - as it would require some changes to protocol.x - that my changes won't have a chance to get into the core Ganglia source code
