PAF 2.2 rc1 released

The first release candidate of the PAF resource agent for Pacemaker has been released yesterday.

You’ll find the tarball, packages and details there: https://github.com/dalibo/PAF/releases/tag/v2.2_rc1

The changelog since 2.1 includes:

• new: support PostgreSQL 10
• new: add the maxlag parameter to exclude lagging slaves from promotion, Thomas Reiss
• new: support for multiple pgsqlms resources in the same cluster
• new: provide comprehensive error messages to crm_mon
• fix: follow the resource agent man page naming policy and section
• fix: add documentation to the pgsqlms man page
• fix: do not rely on crm_failcount, suggested on the clusterlabs lists
• misc: improve the RPM packaging
• misc: check Pacemaker compatibility and resource setup
• misc: improve the election process by including timelines comparison
• misc: various code cleanup, factorization and module improvement

But I have some other great news as well. First, various documentation pages has been updated:

• the Debian cookbook catched up with the CentOS one
• quick starts has been updated and improved
• a new quick start for Debian 9 has been added (spoiler: crmsh is much better supported under Debian)

See http://dalibo.github.io/PAF/documentation.html.

Second, PAF packages are now available in the yum PGDG repository thanks to Devrim! It currently delivers 2.1 or 1.1 depending on your distro, but will delivers 2.2 as soon as it is officially released.

Moreover, 2.2 is currently in the pgdg-testing repositories of http://apt.postgresql.org. It will hit the stable ones after its official release as well. Thank you Adrian Vondendriesch for your help and patches!

Of course, any kind of feedback or contribution is welcomed.

Cheers!
