postgresql-common 85~feisty1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

postgresql-common (85~feisty1) feisty-backports; urgency=low

  * Automated backport upload; no source changes.

postgresql-common (85) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/README.Debian: Fix fatal typo that suggested dropping the wrong
    cluster on upgrade. (Closes: #464064)
  * pg_upgradecluster: Fix some typos in the POD, thanks to Brendan Jurd!

postgresql-common (84) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add t/140_pg_config.t: Check correct output of pg_config, to avoid bugs
    like #455509 and #462037 in the future.
  * t/040_upgrade.t: Create and cd into an inaccessible test directory.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Chdir to / before the upgrade to avoid confusing error
    messages about inaccessible cwd.
  * debian/README.Debian: Update for 8.3 being the default version. Drop
    description of 7.4 autovacuum daemon magic, since it is obsolete now.
  * debian/postgresql-common.templates: Point to README.Debian.
  * debian/postgresql-common.cron.d: Update for 8.3, and add warnings and doc
    pointer about enabling regular VACUUM FULL. (LP: #186831)
  * PgCommon.pm, get_cluster_locales(): Print proper error message when server
    package is removed, but not purged, and a cluster still exists.
    (Closes: #463070)
  * t/030_errors.t, t/130_nonroot_admin.t: Check pg_dropcluster/
    pg_createcluster error message when being called with insufficient
    privileges.
  * pg_createcluster, pg_dropcluster: Point out that program needs to be run
    as root when creating/removing config or data directory fails.
    (Closes: #460576)
  * t/090_multicluster.t: Remove test case for nonexisting PGSERVICE value,
    since this is not reliably reported in psql.
  * t/140_pg_config.t: Skip pg_config test for 8.1. It's known broken in Etch
    (pg_config was only shipped in libpq-def) and irrelevant in Lenny.

postgresql-common (83) unstable; urgency=low

  * Drop the "If you have openssl installed..." from the package description,
    since ssl-cert depends on it.
  * t/050_encodings.t: Add alternative unicode representation 0xc827 for the
    CVE-2006-2313 test, so that the testsuite runs cleanly in Ubuntu 6.06.
  * debian/supported-versions: Drop 8.1 from fallback set of supported
    versions.
  * debian/postgresql-common.config: Add check for forcing the obsoletion
    notifications when upgrading over a particular version. This provides the
    notification when upgrading from Etch to Lenny, and when obsoleting a
    major version within unstable.
  * debian/supported-versions: Drop support for 8.2 in unstable, 8.3 is the
    version du jour.
  * debian/supported-versions: Drop Ubuntu 5.10, fix a typo in the versions
    for Ubuntu 6.06.
  * t/090_multicluster.t: Test correct behaviour of pg_service.conf. (See
    #439026)
  * debian/supported-versions: Only support 8.3 in Ubuntu 8.04.

postgresql-common (82) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Fix 'commmon' typo. (Closes: #449532)
  * t/030_errors.t: Check that an /etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf leftover is
    not regarded as a cluster directory. This reproduces #450565.
  * PgCommon.pm, get_versions()/get_version_clusters(): Filter out '.' and
    '..' from readdir() output. (Closes: #450565)
  * pg_ctlcluster: Use "smart" mode shutdown by default, and add option
    -f/--force to use "fast" -> "immediate" -> kill -9 approach. (LP: #154012)
  * debian/init.d-functions: Use --force when stopping all clusters, since
    default smart mode can potentially block forever and thus fail to shut
    down a machine.
  * debian/README.Devel: Update for current bzr versions and hosting on
    code.launchpad.net.
  * Update Japanese debconf translations (Closes: #450902)

postgresql-common (80) unstable; urgency=low

  * pg_upgradecluster: Fix locale error checking.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Use cluster_exists() instead of
    cluster_data_directory().
  * PgCommon.pm: Fix cluster_data_directory() to consider the data_directory
    setting in postgresql.conf, which should trump the /pgdata symbolic link.
  * debian/init.d-functions: Check for 'postgresql.conf' instead of 'pgdata'
    in the test for a valid cluster configuration directory, since 'pgdata' is
    optional now.
  * pg_createcluster: Do not create pgdata symlinks to the data directory in
    /etc any more when configuring a >= 8.0 cluster. Use the data_directory
    configuration option instead. (Part of #444689)
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Check that clusters still work when replacing
    the data_directory setting with a pgdata symbolic link, and that
    the data_directory setting trumps the symlink.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Set correct data_directory config option after copying
    over the old configuration files.
  * t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Restore data_directory setting after
    scribbling over the configuration file with our template.
  * PgCommon.pm, cluster_info(): Only return a value for 'logfile' when it is
    not explicitly configured with log_directory and/or log_filename. The
    previous guessing was wrong anyway, since PostgreSQL always appends a
    pretty unpredictable timestamp.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Only do log file checks and pass pg_ctl -l option when the
    log file default is used. Otherwise let PostgreSQL do its logfile handling
    and waive log file checks, since we don't know which file is used.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Redirect pg_ctl's stdout and stderr to /dev/null, otherwise
    it will hang forever when using a custom log file (and thus not passing
    -l).
  * pg_lsclusters: Print "custom" as log file location if a custom one was set
    in postgresql.conf.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Enable 'redirect_stderr' in the 7.4 -> 8.x migration of
    'syslog' -> 'log_destination', so that the log output is actually
    complete.
  * t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Enable 'redirect_stderr' in the template
    postgresql.conf's, so that we actually capture log output.
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Check proper handling of logs when configuring
    log file in postgresql.conf, using the log symlink, or having neither.
  * PgCommon.pm, cluster_info(): Return default log file in 'logfile' if
    neither postgresql.conf nor a 'log' symlink explicitly specify a log file.
  * pg_createcluster: Do not create log symlink if using the default log file
    (i. e. when not using -l). (Closes: #444689)
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Verify that log symlink is not created by
    default.
  * architecture.html: Update to current reality.
  * debian/postgresql-common.config: Do not consider versions as obsolete if
    they are newer than the latest officially supported version. This avoids
    confusion when testing new betas in experimental or using backports.
    (Closes: #446635)
  * t/TestLib.pm: Make exec_as() work with user name 'root' (not just uid 0).
  * Add t/130_nonroot_admin.t: Check that administrative pg_ tools work as
    non-root, too, if the invoker has sufficient permissions on the
    directories (test case for LP #90036).
  * pg_{create,drop,upgrade}cluster: Small tweaks to make the scripts work for
    non-root users with sufficient write permissions to
    /etc/postgresql/<version>, /var/lib/postgresql/<version>, and
    /var/log/postgresql. (LP: #90036)

postgresql-common (79) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/supported-versions: Welcome, version 8.3!
  * pg_createcluster: Add configure_8_3().
  * PgCommon.pm, cluster_info(): 8.3 defaults to 'autovacuum = On' when not
    given, reflect that in the avac_enable return value.
  * t/050_encodings.t: 8.3 onwards refuses to create a cluster with an
    inconsistent locale/encoding combination. Just drop the test case, it does
    not make too much sense anyway.
  * t/090_multicluster.t: Do not rely on output of createdb, call it with -q.
    8.3 behaves differently here.
  * t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Add full set of 8.2 postgresql.conf options
    for testing upgrades to 8.3.
  * pg_upgradecluster: When upgrading to 8.3, transition changed configuration
    options:
    - bgwriter_lru_percent, bgwriter_all_percent, bgwriter_all_maxpages,
      stats_start_collector, and stats_reset_on_server_start: deprecated.
    - redirect_stderr -> logging_collector
    - stats_command_string -> track_activities
    - stats_block_level || stats_row_level -> track_counts
    - Explicitly enable archive_mode when archive_command is set.

postgresql-common (78) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Only clean up
    /usr/lib/postgresql/dumpall/ on upgrades if it is actually a directory.
    (Closes: #440596)

postgresql-common (77) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Fix obsolete ${Source-Version}.
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Create fake rotated log files to check that
    they are cleaned up properly.
  * pg_dropcluster: Remove rotated logs, too. (part of #431643)
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Clean up /usr/lib/postgresql/dumpall/
    junk from the Sarge->Etch postgresql transition. This needs to be kept
    until after Lenny's release. (part of #431643)
  * Add debian/postgresql-client-common.postrm: Clean up
    /var/lib/postgresql/.psql_history on purge. Closes: #431643
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Create /var/lib/postgresql/ if it does
    not exist. This should not usually happen, but apparently did anyway.
    (Closes: #438698)

postgresql-common (76) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Priority medium since this unbreaks client programs like psql in testing.
  * pg_wrapper: Revert changes of version 74 to make this work with taint
    mode. It breaks too many custom setups, and Perl just doesn't allow to
    untaint $PATH bluntly. If you run pg_wrapper from a perl script with taint
    checks enabled, you have to clean $PATH yourself. Closes: #427894
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Check that PL/TCL and PL/TCLu work, so that we
    now have complete test coverage of all four PLs that are shipped with the
    core package.
  * t/001_packages.t: Check that postgresql-pltcl-<version> is installed.
  * PgCommon.pm, get_cluster_socketdir(): Improve error message if data
    directory parent is not readable. Closes: #428698

postgresql-common (75) unstable; urgency=low

  The "Never run the test suite without 7.4 just because it is deprecated and
  about to be removed" release. Sorry for the trouble.

  * pg_ctlcluster: Partially revert PATH cleansing to make pg_ctl work on 7.4
    again. This can be dropped again once 7.4 is actually removed from the
    archive. Closes: #425594

postgresql-common (74) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/supported_versions:
    - Match any 4.0* as Debian Etch to get the correct set of supported
      versions. Closes: #420915
    - Add Lenny/unstable: only support 8.2.
    - Add Ubuntu 7.10.
    - Don't fail if the distribution cannot be determined at all, only print
      out a warning.
  * pg_createcluster, pg_ctlcluster, pg_dropcluster, pg_maintenance,
    pg_upgradecluster: Strip down PATH untainting to the absolute minimum, to
    not fall over if e. g. /usr/local/bin is misconfigured to be world
    writable. Closes: #420565
  * pg_wrapper: Make this script work with taint checks enabled. This happens
    in a pretty blunt way, since it does not actually make sense to enforce
    environment variables, etc. It should just not fail when being called from
    a -T perl script. Closes: #422129
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Do not hide failures of the init
    script on restart.
  * debian/postgresql-common.config, debian/postgresql-common.templates:
    Remove the check for an untransitioned postgresql, since it was only
    necessary for the Sarge->Etch upgrade. Update debian/po/*.po.
  * Remove debian/postgresql-common.preinst, we only needed it for the
    "untransitioned" test.
  * debian/control: Move cdbs and debhelper from B-D-I to B-D, since we need
    them for 'clean'.
  * Add debian/postgresql-client-common.lintian: Lintian overrides for 'binary
    without manpage'. The stuff in /usr/bin is just a symlink to pg_wrapper,
    postgresql-client-* ships the actual manpages for those.
