Greetings!
Well, it does work (or seems to), but:
1) Makefile is (most probably) broken around line 25:
sed 's,@MODULE_FILENAME@,$$libdir/$(NAME),g' $< >$@
and line 28:
sed -e 's,@MODULE_FILENAME@,$$libdir/$(NAME),g' \
Here '$$libdir/$(NAME)' should be changed to '$(pkglibdir)/$(SONAME)'
to produce the correct path to rserv.so
2) ApplySnapshot is broken due to a stupid typo, its line 35 is:
my $conn = Pg::connectdb(sinfo);
there should be a '$' before 'sinfo'
Besides, ApplySnapshot as well as other utilities prints just a
'ERROR' on all error conditions regardless of all --debug or --verbose
options. I only managed to get useful error messages by manually
commenting out
$quiet = 1;
from RServ.pm
3) The supplied README.rserv is misleading. It states:
<quote>
MasterAddTable dbname table column
sets up triggers for the specified table and column. Note that this
column must be updated for replication to occur.
</quote>
In fact if I do a MasterAddTable with a serial field PK
replication works perfectly well even if the column is
never changed itself.
4) And the last question: is contrib/rserv currently maintained?
