package: skytools
severity: wishlist

Hi,

thanks for maintaining skytools, but what is it? :)

I've noticed it in NEW, read "Database management tools from Skype to 
PostgreSQL" and got curious. So I read the description:

 Skytools are database management tools to WAL shipping, queueing and
 replication. This package has Python parts of skytools:
 .
  - londiste - PostgreSQL replication engine written in Python
  - pgqadm - PgQ tickter and administration interface
  - walmgr - Tools for managing WAL-based replication for PostgreSQL.
Homepage: http://pgfoundry.org/projects/skytools/

And yet, I have no idea what it does. PostgreSQL is a database, Skype is this 
propietary VOIP application. Well, and then I'm totally at loss. Maybe it 
would help if I knew what WAL is, but still, I think a description should 
give a faint idea to outsiders, even if they don't know all acronyms. 


cheers,
        Holger
