issue2550839: Xapian, DatabaseLockError: Unable to get write lock on db/text-index: already locked I put in a retry loop that will attempt to get the lock. 10 tries with a delaythatvaries from .02 seconds to .64 seconds. Total delay over 10 cycles approx. 4.5 seconds. I can't figure out how to make pytest run two parallel processes to test this code. I did try running: ./run_tests.py -k Xapian test/test_indexer.py & ./run_tests.py -k Xapian test/test_indexer.py and confirmed that one of the processes seemed to hang on a test and then threw a lock failure error. So at least the code path is being exercised. If anybody knows how to correctly test this I would love to do a real test.

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.
