Work around a line-length limit in poplib
Work around a limitation in python2.7 implementation of poplib (for the
pop3 protocol for fetching emails): It seems poplib applies a
line-length limit not just to the lines involving the pop3 protocol but
to any email content, too. This sometimes leads to tracebacks whenever
an email exceeding this limit is encountered. We "fix" this by
monkey-patching poplib with a larger line-limit. Thanks to Heiko
Stegmann for discovering this.

========================== PostgreSQL/psycopg Backend ========================== This are notes about PostqreSQL backend based on the psycopg adapter for Roundup issue tracker. Prerequisites ============= To use PostgreSQL as backend for storing roundup data, you should additionally install: 1. PostgreSQL 8.x or higher - http://www.postgresql.org/ 2. The psycopg python interface to PostgreSQL: http://initd.org/software/initd/psycopg Running the PostgreSQL unit tests ================================= The user that you're running the tests as will need to be able to access the postgresql database on the local machine and create and drop databases. See the config values in 'test/db_test_base.py' about which database connection, name and user will be used. Credit ====== The postgresql backend was originally submitted by Federico Di Gregorio <fog@initd.org>
