Web Servers

PostgreSQL DBD Driver

Users of the mod_dbd module should note that the apr-util DBD driver for PostgreSQL is now distributed as a separate dynamically-loaded module. The driver module is now included in the apr-util-pgsql package. A MySQL driver is now also available, in the apr-util-mysql package.

TurboGears Applications

The main !CherryPy package has been updated to 3.x. A compatibility package for !TurboGears applications has been created: python-cherrypy2. !TurboGears applications created before this change may need to update their startup scripts. Instead of:

import pkg_resources
pkg_resources.require('TurboGears')

the start script needs to have:

__requires__ = 'TurboGears'
import pkg_resources


Drupal

Drupal has been updated to 6.4. For details, refer to:

http://drupal.org/drupal-6.4

If you're already updated to the latest in F-9, which is also 6.4, you don't need to do the following:

Remember to log in to your site as the admin user, and disable any third-party modules before upgrading this package. After upgrading the package:

1. Copy /etc/drupal/default/settings.php.rpmsave to /etc/drupal/default/settings.php, and repeat for any additional sites' settings.php files. 1. Browse to http://host/drupal/update.php to run the upgrade script.


Also, several modules are now available. drupal-date, -cck, -views, and -service_links.

Squid

Squid has been updated from version 2.6 to 3.0.STABLE2. The configuration files are not entirely backwards compatible. For further details, refer to the Squid release notes:

http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/squid-3.0.STABLE2-RELEASENOTES.html

As well, due to a bug, the transparent proxy does not work. This should be resolved after the first update.
