Bug Description

The script Open-ILS/examples/build-eg-replication.sh can be used to set up database replication using Slony-I.

It is quite unlikely that new Evergreen setups would use Slony given the availability of mature and native PostgreSQL options for binary and logical replication. Also, while a cursory search did not turn up a deprecation or end of life announcement for Slony, and there was even a release of it in November 2022, the project otherwise appears to be moribund for anybody who is not set on keeping a legacy Slony setup going.

There are also two references to Slony in source code comments that should be tweaked:

Open-ILS/src/perlmods/lib/OpenILS/Application/Cat.pm
Open-ILS/src/perlmods/lib/OpenILS/Application/Circ.pm

To committers: I don't see any real reason to backport this to maintenance branches.
