[Spacewalk-list] install packages when migrating from oracle to postgres

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello

I'm not totally aware of this guide, however, one plan that I believe to be
great should be

1. Do an online backup from your current installation
2. Install the fresh one using embedded db (PG) "I believe you are planning
to use embedded". SW in the same version as the original
3. Restore the DB using db-control

After that, you should be able to see the entire content and your SW should
be working fine. After that, just the upgrade process as usual.

Ps.: I'll take a look on the link ASAP.
