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
