-Enable suspension of repmgrd failover
--------------------------------------
-
-When performing maintenance, e.g. a switchover, it's necessary to stop all
-repmgrd nodes to prevent unintended failover; this is obviously inconvenient.
-We'll need to implement some way of notifying each repmgrd to suspend automatic
-failover until further notice.

-    </note>
-    <para>
-      To install a snapshot package, it's necessary to install the 2ndQuadrant public snapshot repository,
-      following the instructions here: <ulink url="https://dl.2ndquadrant.com/default/release/site/">https://dl.2ndquadrant.com/default/release/site/</ulink> but replace <literal>release</literal> with <literal>snapshot</literal>
-      in the appropriate URL.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      For example, to install the snapshot RPM repository for PostgreSQL 9.6, execute (as <literal>root</literal>):
-      <programlisting>
-curl https://dl.2ndquadrant.com/default/snapshot/get/9.6/rpm | bash</programlisting>
-
-      or as a normal user with root sudo access:
-      <programlisting>
-curl https://dl.2ndquadrant.com/default/snapshot/get/9.6/rpm | sudo bash</programlisting>
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      Alternatively you can browse the repository here:

-    </para>
-    <para>
-      Once the repository is installed, installing or updating &repmgr; will result in the latest snapshot
-      package being installed.
-    </para>
-    <para>
-      The package name will be formatted like this:
-      <programlisting>
-repmgr96-4.1.1-0.0git320.g5113ab0.1.el7.x86_64.rpm</programlisting>
