Re: Bug in repmgr3 package

Hi Guillaume,

Thanks for the patch!

I committed your patch:

http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgrpms.git;a=commit;h=0cdf38c03aebb
45a40aa5895cf0753237320f164

 I also changed the username from repmgr to postgres. I pushed this
change only to 9.5 for now. Will push and test packages today, and then
I'll update the remaining branches.

Regards, Devrim
