postgresql-8.2 8.2.4-1~edgy1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

postgresql-8.2 (8.2.4-1~edgy1) edgy-backports; urgency=low

  * Automated backport upload; no source changes.

postgresql-8.2 (8.2.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream security/bug fix release:
    - Support explicit placement of the temporary-table schema within
      search_path, and disable searching it for functions and operators.
      This is needed to allow a security-definer function to set a truly
      secure value of search_path. Without it, an unprivileged SQL user
      can use temporary objects to execute code with the privileges of
      the security-definer function (CVE-2007-2138). See "CREATE
      FUNCTION" for more information.
    - Fix to_char() so it properly upper/lower cases localized day or
      month names.
    - "/contrib/tsearch2" crash fixes.
    - Require "COMMIT PREPARED" to be executed in the same database as
      the transaction was prepared in.
    - New traditional (Taiwan) Chinese FAQ.
    - Prevent the statistics collector from writing to disk too
      frequently.
    - Fix potential-data-corruption bug in how "VACUUM FULL" handles
      "UPDATE" chains.
    - Fix bug in domains that use array types.
    - Fix "pg_dump" so it can dump a serial column's sequence using "-t"
      when not also dumping the owning table.
    - Planner fixes, including improving outer join and bitmap scan
      selection logic.
    - Fix possible wrong answers or crash when a PL/pgSQL function tries
      to RETURN from within an EXCEPTION block.
    - Fix PANIC during enlargement of a hash index.
  * debian/patches/04-timezone-symlinks.patch: Adapt to slightly changed
    Makefile of 8.2.4.
  * Remove debian/patches/12-vacuum-cycle-hang.patch: Fixed upstream.
  * debian/postgresql-8.2.postrm: Fix bashism.

postgresql-8.2 (8.2.3-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: Do not let failed test suite fail the build on mips and
    mipsel. The Debian buildds' kernels are still broken.
  * debian/control: Add empty postgresql{,-client,-contrib,-doc} packages
    which always point to the latest available version.

postgresql-8.2 (8.2.3-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * First upload to unstable: Welcome, Lenny!

postgresql-8.2 (8.2.3-3) experimental; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: Do not FTBFS on failed test suite on sparc. sparc throws a
    'floating point exception' instead of a 'division by zero' error, which is
    fine, but differs from expected string output. Closes: #417160

postgresql-8.2 (8.2.3-2) experimental; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Add Perl dependency to p-8.2-plperl, to ensure that
    creating plperl functions works (as opposed to plperlu, which only needs
    libperl). (see bug #412135)
  * debian/control: Do not mention nor suggest 'pgdocs' any more in p-doc's
    description since pgdocs is only available for 7.4. (see bug #405097)
  * debian/patches/04-timezone-symlinks.patch:
    - Use the timezone database from the system tzdata instead of shipping our
      own. Towards a single authoritative time zone database in Debian and
      Ubuntu... :) (LP: #41159)
    - Drop previous hardlink-to-symlink patch to zic, since that is irrelevant
      now.
    - debian/control: Add tzdata dependency.
  * Add debian/patches/12-vacuum-cycle-hang.patch: Properly release our
    semaphore lock before erroring out wit elog() to prevent deadlocks on
    vacuum errors. Thanks to Heikki Linnakangas!
  * debian/rules: Have a test suite failure fail the build again. Let's ignore
    the old kernels on the Debian mips[el] buildds for now.
