Added $service_reload parameter to params.pp, in order to allow
a reload of the postgresql server on OpenBSD, which apparently doesn't
have a service binary.
It would be enabled, but it wouldn't work properly. This fixes that
issue the same way Puppet does itself; use the onestart/onestop and most
importantly in this case, the onestatus command.
By using this approach it means the Database server will actually start
whereas it would not before. It would enable, but not actually start.
onestatus means the service type gets the right response and behaves
properly.
Since facter 2.2.0 'fixed' the lsbmajdistrelease fact for Ubuntu, we now have to regexp
for the value. The new value would be '10.04' whereas the old is '10'.

I'd like to see this patch included ASAP -- the desirable default could
be manage_pg_ident_conf => true, but one could already manage this file
manually : we don't want to wipe it.
Please switch the default from false to true at the next major release
and write a line about this in the release notes.
This is likely to be a controversial change so I wanted to put some
explanation of our reasoning into the commit message. This gets
kind of complex so I'll start with the problem and then the reasoning.
Problem:
We rely heavily on the ability to uninstall and reinstall postgres
throughout our testing code, testing features like "can I move from the
distribution packages to the upstream packages through the module" and
over time we've learnt that the uninstall code simply doesn't work a lot
of the time. It leaves traces of postgres behind or fails to remove
certain packages on Ubuntu, and generally causes bits to be left on your
system that you didn't expect.
When we then reinstall things fail because it's not a true clean slate,
and this causes us enormous problems during test. We've spent weeks and
months working on these tests and they simply don't hold up well across
the full range of PE platforms.
Reasoning:
Due to all these problems we've decided to take a stance on uninstalling
in general. We feel that in 2014 it's completely reasonable and normal
to have a good provisioning pipeline combined with your configuration
management and the "correct" way to uninstall a fully installed service
like postgresql is to simply reprovision the server without it in the
first place. As a general rule this is how I personally like to work
and I think is a good practice.
WAIT A MINUTE:
We understand that there are environments and situations in which it's
not easy to do that. What if you accidently deployed Postgres on
100,000 nodes? When this work is finished I'm going to take a look at
building some example 'profiles' to be found under examples/ within this
module that can uninstall postgres on popular platforms. These can be
modified and used in your specific case to uninstall postgresql. They
will be much more brute force and reliant on deleting entire directories
and require you to do more work up front in specifying where things are
installed but we think it'll prove to be a much cleaner mechanism for
this kind of thing rather than trying to weave it into the main module
logic itself.
We now test if service_ensure is 'running' or 'stopped' but it was
actually picking up the default value of ensure in params.pp which
was true, not present.
Fix this and thereby fix the failing test.
Allows for OS specific $user and $group value specification. For most of
the target operating systems these will both be 'postgres'. For FreeBSD
however these values are 'pgsql'.
This makes the variable consistent with the manner in which most/all of
the rest of the postgresql module currently works.
Commit also adds the new param to the README file.
This is a very very large change to the module. It started out as a fix to add
postgresl::server::config_entry, and quickly became a rewrite to fix a lot of
ordering issues inherent in the API.
Since this changes the Public API it is considered a backwards compatible
change.
See the upgrading guide in README.md for more details as to what has been
modified in this patch.

Most of these changes are just simple bits but I've wrapped a bunch of
stuff around 80 lines so it's slightly more readable. These should all
be no-op changes.
This patch just adds some new tests for the unknown OS patch, and cleans up
some existing tests to look for the new warning message.
Also, change the warning message for $osfamily and manage_package_repo to
reflect the parameter at fault.

Prior to this commit, if you attempted to use the module to
manage postgres on any OS other than Redhat/Debian, there
was an explicit check for that, and a call to `fail`.
In reality, the OS family is only used to build up defaults
for various path and package names, which are all exposed
as parameters. If the user is willing to explicitly pass
in all of those parameters, there's no reason we should
fail based on OS family.
This commit adds checks to the 'default' osfamily case
such that we now only fail if they're on a non-Redhat-or-Debian
system *and* they haven't explicitly passed in values for
all of the required parameters.
This patch ports all of the existing system tests to use rspec-system instead.
To assist with this conversion some patches were made to fix OS compatibility
where necessary. We also added an ensure parameter to the postgresql::server
class to assist with removing PostgreSQL configuration to aid with testing
cleanups.
The documentation has been updated to indicate test usage with rspec-system,
we've also renamed the 'tests' directory to 'examples'.
