[Koha-devel] ubuntu and koha and some postgresql info

[Simon Mitchell]

1.
Hi guys, you know that mysql 4.1 is not in my ubuntu repository.

I am having problems with perl modules with ubuntu and koha 2.2.9

I think it is because I have installed models from ubuntu package manager.

Is there a list perl modules versions, etc that have been/should be used with koha 2.2.9 ?
What is the recommended .deb version of mysql to use with ubuntu and koha 2.2.9?

I understand that koha was built initially to run on postgresql, but it was slow to connect and did not have full text search.

So I point out that postgresql has release 8.3 beta which has

• TSearch2 full text search integrated into the core code with improved syntax and ease of adding custom dictionaries.

See    
http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.872


And that pgpool would certainly improve connection time to databases and seem to has some fallback features. 
See 
http://pgpool.projects.postgresql.org/pgpool-II/en/

So when I get my koha running on ubuntu I will have a go at running it on postgresql.


Thanks for all the work you guys are doing.
