Package: postgis30_96
Summary: Geographic Information Systems Extensions to PostgreSQL

Description:
PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRI's SDE or Oracle's Spatial extension. PostGIS follows the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL" and has been certified as compliant with the "Types and Functions" profile.

Package: bgw_replstatus96
Summary: PostgreSQL background worker to report wether a node is a replication master or standby

Description:
bgw_replstatus is a tiny background worker to cheaply report the replication status of a node. It's intended to be polled by a load balancer such as haproxy. When installed, a background worker will be started that listens on a defined TCP port (configured bgw_replstatus.port). Any connection to this port will get a TCP response back (no request necessary, response will be sent immediately on connect) saying either MASTER or STANDBY depending on the current state of the node. The connection is then automatically closed. Using a background worker like this will make polling a lot more light weight than making a full PostgreSQL connection, logging in, and checking the status.
