[Server-devel] PostgreSQL mgmt on Fedora: pg_cluster-like tools?

[Martin Langhoff]

I'm getting familiar with the Fedora tools around Pg, and wondering
whether there is anything similar to the pg_cluster stuff that's
available in Debian/Ubuntu.

So far I've looked at the postgresql-* packages and rhdb-utils --
nothing I've found seems to fill that space. Is there a package I am
missing, or a workflow that achieves the same goals?

My goals:

 - Run Pg with custom options - I see the sysconfig/pgsql/$NAME trick
in the init script, handy!

 - Major Pg upgrades will have to run 100% unattended, with a sane
failover, so: install the new version of Pg, attempt a
pg_dump|pg_restore data migration and only switch over if it was
successful.

the pg_cluster scripts and the wrappers around psql and friends
simplify a lot of error-prone stuff when working in these upgrade
scenarios. How do I handle it in Fedora-land?

cheers,
