Is xattr still needed when using Postgres?
I am trying to install CalendarServer on a Dreamhost VPS, but I found out xattr are not enabled (and impossible to enable). I cannot find much information about the Postgres feature. Is xattr still needed when using Postgres? Does Postgres take over all storage? Also, is there any documentation about setting up Postgres? Thank you.
Hi, xattr support would only be needed for the ability to upgrade / import from previous versions; these days we use Postgres instead of a file-based store, so no need for extended attributes once everything is running a modern version (and all data has been upgraded / imported). If you don't need to upgrade from an ancient version, you can probably just comment out the appropriate bits in support/build.sh: Index: support/build.sh =================================================================== --- support/build.sh (revision 11097) +++ support/build.sh (working copy) @@ -736,9 +736,9 @@ "${svn_uri_base}/PyKerberos/trunk"; fi; - py_dependency -v 0.5 -r 1038 \ - "xattr" "xattr" "xattr" \ - "http://svn.red-bean.com/bob/xattr/releases/xattr-0.6.1/"; +# py_dependency -v 0.5 -r 1038 \ +# "xattr" "xattr" "xattr" \ +# "http://svn.red-bean.com/bob/xattr/releases/xattr-0.6.1/"; if [ -n "${ORACLE_HOME:-}" ]; then local cx="cx_Oracle-5.1"; HTH, -dre On Apr 23, 2013, at 12:37 AM, Richard Cáceres <me@rchrd.net> wrote:
