Hi, Currently, Spacewalk's PostgreSQL support depends on the stock RPMs supplied by the OS. However, we have several users out there who are using PostgreSQL community repo (because they are up2date), and the packages are slightly different than the Red Hat's packages.
One change is that community RPMs allow multiple parallel version installation, so they use different directory layout, along with different init script/unit file name. We append PostgreSQL version number to both, so, instead of: service postgresql start we do service postgresql-9.6 start (or other major versions) I had to manually symlink -9.6 to versionless name, to be able to install Spacewalk. If we can find a way to detect PostgreSQL unit file/init script name, that would be awesome. Another thing is that spacewalk depends on /usr/bin/psql, which we supply the binary via alternatives, so fail to supply the dependency. Any chance we can change the dependency to postgresql (the package name), which provides this? That way, community RPMs can be used for the backend. I am not a Python hacker, but I'm willing to test any patches that people can provide. Thanks!
