Perhaps you could explain this a little more.  When I read that the
Postgres Merge happend, I assumed that meant Postgres functionality.
Also, in reading Cliff's notes for Spacewalk 0.6, it looked like
Postgres support was in there.  Am I just mis-reading things, or is
there more to it?  I am sure it's a very significant effort for the
whole process, I just want to be sure I understand where it's at.

So little explanation:
This step means that we have schema definition which we can feed to PostgreSQL. That mean definition of tables, procedures, indexes... In fact - using tool chameleon we are able to create PosgresSQL schema from Oracle schema anytime we want. So DB population during spacewalk-setup should happened without error (I mean this one single step, the script will likely die on something else even before this one step).
And what is still remaining:
- ask in spacewalk-setup which backend you wanna use
- make sure that java, python and perl will load PosgreSQL driver when you choose Pg. - make sure that SQL queries in code is compatible with PosgreSQL (there will be for sure with BLOBs handling).
- write Pg support for db utilites (like db-control)
- make performance tests with Pg.
- and probably something else I do not realize right now.
