Description

Slony-I is enterprise-level "master to multiple slaves" replication system with cascading and failover.

The big picture for the development of Slony-I is to build a master-slave system that includes all features and capabilities needed to replicate large databases to a reasonably limited number of slave systems.

Slony-I is developed as a system for data centers and backup sites, where the normal mode of operation is that all nodes are available.

Differences from 1.2 stream

It drops all support for databases prior to PostgreSQL version 8.3.

Message after installing

Please read the docs on configuring and running slony-1.

Unless you did not specify the DOCS options, they are in the
/usr/local/share/doc/slony1v2 directory.

The script /usr/local/sbin/slon-mkservice can be used to create a control
directory to run and monitor the slon daemon under svscan from daemontools.
If you use this, be sure not to set slon_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf.

If you prefer to use the standard startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d then
set slon_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf to enable the slon.sh script.

To use either of the above startup configurations, you will need to set up a
/usr/local/etc/slon.conf file to tell slon what to replicate.  This file
is documented in /usr/local/share/doc/slony1/adminguide/runtime-config.html

If you are upgrading from a prior version of slony, please read the UPGRADING
file in the above docs directory.
