The version does not look utterly old (even though much has happened since then) but the Fedora packaging people were apparently misled by the then badly documented data, which results in a quite broken package. Now this is cleaned up and somewhat documented upstream, so future pcc packages, for Fedora or otherwise, will be hopefully better. Rune
