Known issues in repmgr
======================
* When running repmgr against a remote machine, operations that start
the database server using the ``pg_ctl`` command may accidentally
terminate after their associated ssh session ends.
* PGPASSFILE may not be passed to pg_basebackup
Planned feature improvements
============================
* Use 'primary' instead of 'master' in documentation and log output
for consistency with PostgreSQL documentation. See also commit
870b0a53b627eeb9aca1fc14cbafe25b5beafe12.
* A better check which standby did receive most of the data
* Make the fact that a standby may be delayed a factor in the voting
algorithm
* include support for delayed standbys
* Create the repmgr user/database on "master register".
* Use pg_basebackup for the data directory, and ALSO rsync for the
configuration files.
* If no configuration file supplied, search in sensible default locations
(currently: current directory and `pg_config --sysconfdir`); if
possible this should include the location provided by the package,
if installed.
* repmgrd: if connection to the upstream node fails on startup, optionally
retry for a certain period before giving up; this will cover cases when
e.g. primary and standby are both starting up, and the standby comes up
before the primary. See github issue #80.
* make old master node ID available for event notification commands
(See github issue #80).
* Have pg_basebackup use replication slots, if and when support for
this is added; see:
