A commit that I merged yesterday broke the default version fact
such that it would sometimes return nil and sometimes an error message
if your distro wasn't supported. This commit makes it consistent again.
Debian Wheezy has a default version of 9.1, but doesn't currently have
an operatingsystemrelease value beyond 'wheezy'. This command searches
for wheezy in the operatingsystemrelease fact and sets the fact value
accordingly.
When the psql command runs from a directory it does not have permission to
access, it outputs an error. This error trips up the unless SQL command,
causing the other SQL commands to run even if not needed. Rather than ignore
stderr (which might hide something else), or use an arbitrary directory like
/tmp, this code sets the cwd to the data directory, which will exist and be
owned by the postgres user. If someone uses the postgres_psql type and
customises the psql_user parameter, they should also set an appropriate cwd.
This commit fixes up the `postgres_default_version` fact so that
it doesn't use apt/yum (slow), and instead just has a hard-coded
list of default postgres versions for various OS versions. We
will need to add new OS versions to this fact over time, but that
seems preferable to the previous implementation which was causing
slower puppet runs on all nodes (regardless of whether they were
actually using postgres or not).
This commit provides a working implementation of a ruby
type/provider (`postgresql_psql` for handling the PSQL
commands. This is a little more flexible than doing it
via Exec resources, which is what the `postgresql::psql`
type was doing.
The old type is still present but now includes a
deprecation notification, and all of the other types
that were using the `::psql` type have been ported over
to use the `postgresql_psql` type instead.
Renamed a few files and made some tweaks to try to get
database_grant, database_user, and database types into
a state where they work very similarly to the ones in
the mysql module. Also introduced a "postgresql_password"
function that can be used to generate an md5 password
hash for a postgres user.
This is a first working version of postgresql::server.
It includes a very simple test manifest, which has
been tried out on CentOS6 and Ubuntu 10.04; initial
tests were successful both from a clean state and
for subsequent runs.
Includes a new fact called 'postgres_default_version',
which detects what the default version of postgres is
for a given OS. This is needed because some of the
commands and directory names include this version string.
Current implementation *only* supports managing the
system default version; in the future it would be nice
to allow the user to explicitly specify a postgres version,
but that isn't yet supported.
The "postgresql::server" class includes a call to postgres's
initdb command on redhat systems, because they don't do
this automatically when the package is installed.
