There is no official recommendation, but patchwork gets the most testing on: * Ubuntu, with postgres (my development & test environment) * Debian, with postgres (patchwork.ozlabs.org) IIRC, patchwork.kernel.org is Fedora with MySQL. Although the support for this is trailing behind a little, J.H. lets me know when something breaks, and it usually gets fixed fairly soon after. > I tried to get this runnign on Fedora 13 with MySQL, and ran into a > few minor issues (eventually the "INSTALL" document is not complete > and up to dat?), but in the end I run into more serious problems > where I have no clue how to debug: > > There is a large number of > > [notice] child pid ... exit signal Segmentation fault (11) This sounds like an issue with apache and/or the modules used for the python environment.

If not, let me know. In fact, let me know either way :) > Is this some stupid pilot error, or would it be easier to swicth to a > Ubuntu / PostgreSQL combo instead? I'd suggest sticking with what you're familiar with; we can fix patchwork to suit, and once it's installed it should run OK.
