We've been fixing bits and pieces that prevented Spacewalk to usePostgreSQL database server to store the data. Currently known to work are:
* content sync with satellite-sync and spacewalk-repo-sync; * rhnpush; * client registration; * yum operations.So it is possible to use Spacewalk on PostgreSQL to manage the rpmpackages on your machines. For the above mentioned areas, please usebugzilla to report the bugs just like you would normally do.
The PostgreSQL port is however far from complete, so sooner than lateryou will encouncer weird behavior or Internal Server Error, especiallyif you use functionality not listed above. For that we will appreciatepatch rather than bugzilla report -- we know these do not work and weneed help. If you are ready to code, please check
* [[PostgreSQL]] * [[PostgreSQLPortingGuide]]We thank the community members who contributed to this release:
* Ali Yousefi Sabzevar * Aron Parsons * Colin Coe * Francesco Tombolini * Jaswinder Singh Phulewala * Joshua Roys * KrishnaBabu Krothapalli * Luc de Louw * Manoj Kumar Giri * Timo Trinks * Yulia Poyarkovawith special kudos to Colin Coe for his Java porting and API work.
Yours,
