Hi All,
I am trying to install Slony-I on Debian Etch with kernel version
2.6.18-6-686 and after googling around for information, I have some
questions to ask.
1. I tried to search the online repository using apt-get and found
that :
a. Slony1 on Debian Etch is postgresql-8.1-slony1.2.1-1
b. Slony1 on Debian Lenny is postgresql-8.3-slony1.2.15-1
2. Looking at the Slony-I website, I found that Slony-I has got the
following version available which I think I will need to build from
source.
a. 1.2.17-rc.tar.bz2
b. 1.2.16.tar.bz2
3. I tried going to www.backports.org <http://www.backports.org/>
and look for Slony-I, the version they have is
postgresql-8.1-slony1_1.2.1-1_i386.deb
<http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/slony1/postgresql-8.1-slony1_1
.2.1-1_i386.deb> and postgresql-8.3-slony1_1.2.16-1_i386.deb
<http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/slony1/postgresql-8.1-slony1_1
.2.1-1_i386.deb>
Questions:
1. As my production server is running on Etch and PostgreSQL 8.1, I
want to know which version of Slony-I should I install?
2. Looking at Slony-I website, if I plan to migrate PostgreSQL on
the production server to version 8.3. Should I upgrade the OS to Lenny
or build PostgreSQL from source to version 8.3 with the OS remaining at
Debian Etch?
3. What is the differences between Slony-I version 2.0.x and
version 1.2.x.
4. If I install from the backports repository, what are the steps
to patch Slony to the lastest version?
Regards,
Lawrence Giam
