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 from the 5.x series to 6.2. For details, refer to:

http://drupal.org/drupal-6.2

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.

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.
