Description of problem: I was trying to install RT on Fedora using a Postgres database, only to discover that the package only includes the MySQL schema files and explicitly excludes the schema files for Postgres, Oracle, and SQLite. Unless there is a good reason to exclude some or all of the schema files (e.g., "they are unmaintained and known to be broken" would be a good reason) could we please include *all* the schema files in the rt package? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rt-4.2.12

Correct. ATM, the rpms only support MySQL. > Unless there is a good reason to exclude some or all of the schema files > (e.g., "they are unmaintained and known to be broken" would be a good > reason) could we please include *all* the schema files in the rt package? There are 2 primary reasons why Postgres is not supported: - Adding postgres would add further complexity to rt's already utterly complex packaging (It would likely require alternatives and further package split). - Though I tried several times, I have never managed to get rt w/ postgres working.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
