+Description
+===========
+
+Installs and configures PostgreSQL as a client or a server.
+
+Changes/Roadmap
+==============
+
+## v 0.99.0
+
+* Better support for Red Hat-family platforms
+* Integration with database cookbook
+* Make sure the postgres role is updated with a (secure) password
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+## Platforms
+
+* Debian, Ubuntu
+* Red Hat/CentOS/Scientific (6.0+ required) - "EL6-family"
+* Fedora
+* SUSE
+
+Tested on:
+
+* Ubuntu 10.04, 11.10
+* Red Hat 6.1, Scientific 6.1
+
+## Cookboooks
+
+Requires Opscode's `openssl` cookbook for secure password generation.
+
+Requires a C compiler and development headers in order to build the
+`pg` RubyGem to provide Ruby bindings so they're available in other
+cookbooks.
+
+Opscode's `build-essential` cookbook provides this functionality on
+Debian, Ubuntu, and EL6-family.
+
+While not required, Opscode's `database` cookbook contains resources
+and providers that can interact with a PostgreSQL database. This
+cookbook is a dependency of that one.
+
+Attributes
+==========
+
+The following attributes are set based on the platform, see the
+`attributes/default.rb` file for default values.
+
+* `node['postgresql']['version']` - version of postgresql to manage
+* `node['postgresql']['dir']` - home directory of where postgresql
+  data and configuration lives.
+
+The following attributes are generated in
+`recipe[postgresql::server]`.
+
+* `node['postgresql']['password']['postgres']` - randomly generated
+  password by the `openssl` cookbook's library.
+* `node['postgresql']['ssl']` - whether to enable SSL (off for version
+  8.3, true for 8.4).
+
+Recipes
+=======
+
+default
+-------
+
+Includes the client recipe.
+
+client
+------
+
+Installs postgresql client packages and development headers during the
+compile phase. Also installs the `pg` Ruby gem during the compile
+phase so it can be made available for the `database` cookbook's
+resources, providers and libraries.
+
+server
+------
+
+Includes the `server_debian` or `server_redhat` recipe to get the
+appropriate server packages installed and service managed. Also
+manages the configuration for the server:
+
+* generates a strong default password (via `openssl`) for `postgres`
+* sets the password for postgres
+* manages the `pg_hba.conf` file.
+
+server\_debian
+--------------
+
+Installs the postgresql server packages, manages the postgresql
+service and the postgresql.conf file.
+
+server\_redhat
+--------------
+
+Manages the postgres user and group (with UID/GID 26, per RHEL package
+conventions), installs the postgresql server packages, initializes the
+database and manages the postgresql service, and manages the
+postgresql.conf file.
+
+Resources/Providers
+===================
+
+See the [database](http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/database)
+for resources and providers that can be used for managing PostgreSQL
+users and databases.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+On systems that need to connect to a PostgreSQL database, add to a run
+list `recipe[postgresql]` or `recipe[postgresql::client]`.
+
+This does install the `pg` RubyGem, which has native C extensions, so
+that the resources and providers can be used in the `database`
+cookbook, or elsewhere in the same Chef run. Use Opscode's
+`build-essential` cookbook to make sure the proper build tools are
+installed so the C extensions can be compiled.
+
+On systems that should be PostgreSQL servers, use
+`recipe[postgresql::server]` on a run list. This recipe does set a
+password and expect to use it. It performs a node.save when Chef is
+not running in `solo` mode. If you're using `chef-solo`, you'll need
+to set the attribute `node['postgresql']['password']['postgres']` in
+your node's `json_attribs` file or in a role.
