Yeah, it's not that it's hard to fix when you know where to look, but my aim
is to produce a site installation checklist for other people to follow. The
simpler it is, the better the chance of it being successful.
I'd prefer a site installation to be:
- install PostgreSQL RPMs
- unpack our specific postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf
- set up database from scripts
- install Slony RPM
- unpack our specific slony config files
- run minimal commands to get Slony going
- profit! (or at least I don't get woken up by phone calls at 3am)
That's why I'm so keen on the RPMs working out of the box, with minimal need
for post-installation tweaks/fixes.
