postgresql-common (39) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add t/090_multicluster.t: Test multicluster operation and environment
    variable handling (PGCLUSTER, PGPORT).
  * pg_upgradecluster: When upgrading from < 8.1 to >= 8.1, check for users
    and groups with the same name and abort if there are any. Closes: #343622
  * t/040_upgrade.t: Add self test for above bug (clashing role names on
    upgrade).
  * testsuite: Run the tests twice; once with umask 022, once with umask 077.
  * Fix operation under umask 077:
    - pg_createcluster: Create /var/log/postgresql with mode 0755.
    - PgCommon.pm, set_cluster_start_conf(): Always create start.conf with
      0644 mode by default, but preserve permissions when changing the file.
    - pg_upgradecluster: Ensure correct permissions of the temporary
      pg_hba.conf that only allows superuser connections. Closes: #345670

  * pg_ctlcluster: Remove --setuid option, it does not make too much sense
    after all and only confuses users. Closes: #343063

  * pg_wrapper: Fix 'postgreqsl' typo in POD. Closes: #343938
  * pg_createcluster: Do not simply close STDOUT, but reopen it to /dev/null
    to avoid initdb complaining about invalid filehandles. Closes: #344180
  * debian/init.d-functions: Check if the requested version's postmaster is
    available before trying to start/stop a cluster to avoid errors when a
    server package is removed, but not purged. Closes: #343730

    Closes: #340200, #341267
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Change default permissions of the
    private SSL key to root:postgres 0640 to prevent potential modification of
    the certificate by the postmaster. Closes: #341141
  * Add Czech debconf translations, thanks to Miroslav Kure. Closes: #341951

  * t/040_upgrade.t: Check upgrading of sequence and stored PL/PgSQL
    procedure.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Change hardcoded and obsolete library paths to
    '$libdir' in the new cluster. This fixes upgrades of 7.4 clusters that

postgresql-common (35) unstable; urgency=low

  * pg_ctlcluster: If the socket already responds, but connections fail
    several times in a row, give the postmaster some more time (5s) to
    actually accept connections.
  * t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Start with a full configuration file for
    every tested version, instead of just upgrading the previously upgraded
    version. This gives an exhaustive check for obsolete parameters.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Handle all outstanding obsolete parameters when
    upgrading to 8.1:
    - bgwriter_percent -> bgwriter_{lru,all}_percent
    - bgwriter_maxpages -> bgwriter_{lru,all}_maxpages
  * PgCommon.pm: Add new function set_cluster_start_conf() for easier change
    of start.conf.
  * Rename test 030_create_errors.t to 030_errors.t since it covers more
    errors than just creation failures.
  * Add test t/080_start.conf.t: Check start.conf handling and upgrading.
  * debian/supported-versions: Add Debian release 3.1.
    Closes: #340397, #340483

postgresql-common (33) unstable; urgency=low

  * pg_wrapper: Instead of checking $0 against a static list, just check
    whether the program is available in postgresql's bin dir. This allows
    other packages which provide stuff in pg_bin to install additional
    symlinks and get pg_wrapper support for free.
  * pg_checksystem, pg_createcluster, pg_dropcluster, pg_upgradecluster: Check
    that effective user is root before doing anything to avoid confusing error
    messages.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Enhance the check if cluster is up and running to make it
    more reliable. This should fix the 'Database system is starting up' errors
    on autovacuum startup.
  * debian/init.d-functions: Remove legacy init script output and always use
    LSB functions. Add lsb-base dependency.
  * debian/po/de.po: Fix cluster version in German translation.
    Closes: #340096
  * debian/postgresql-common.postrm: Check if /etc/postgresql-common exists
    before trying to remove it. Closes: #340187
  * pg_upgradecluster:
    - Fix error message for nonexisting cluster.
    - Use pg_dump/pg_restore with custom format to support BLOBs.
    - Upgrade databases with disabled connection.
    - Execute ANALYZE after upgrade instead of pg_maintenance.
    - Set correct autovacuum option in postgresql.conf when
      upgrading to 8.1, depending on whether autovacuuming was used for the
      old cluster.
    - Restrict access to the clusters to the cluster owner and to the local
      Unix socket during upgrade. Closes: #338025
    - Convert to 'strict' Perl mode.

  * pg_createcluster: Add a POD stanza about cluster names and their purpose.
  * Explained why and how to delete the main cluster of the new version before
    upgrading the old main cluster. Closes: #339392
  * pg_ctlcluster: Call setsid() to unbind from controlling terminal before
    starting the daemon. Closes: #338862
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Add selftest for associated terminal (bug
    #338862).
  * debian/control: Version dependency on debconf to (>= 0.5.00) to make
    lintian happy.

postgresql-common (31) unstable; urgency=low

  * Completely new test suite rewritten from scratch; the new suite now uses
    perl instead of shell, can be extented more easily, handles changing of
    supported major versions and does more tests.
  * Fix start.conf handling of pg_upgradecluster:
    - Disable automatic startup of old backup cluster in start.conf.
    - Preserve the original start.conf in new cluster.
    - Error out if original cluster is disabled.
  * Add debconf note about upgrading from obsolete version 8.0.
  * debian/control: Add debconf dependency.
  * Disable automatic autovacuum invocation for -contrib-8.1:
    - pg_ctlcluster: Check version before (not after) complaining about a
      missing pg_autovacuum
    - debian/maintscripts-functions: Check version before trying to call
      autovac-{start,stop}
    - Closes: #337925
  * pg_maintenance: Add --cluster option to work only on selected cluster.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Vacuum and analyze the target cluster after upgrade.
    Closes: #338010
  * pg_ctlcluster: Exit with nonzero if cluster is already running.
  * pg_upgradecluster configuration parameter upgrading:
    - When upgrading to 8.1+, disable obsolete 'rendezvous_name' option.
    - When upgrading to 8.0+, rename sort_mem to work_mem.

  * pg_lsclusters: Add -h/--no-header option to suppress header output.
  * pg_createcluster: Fix the default start.conf to contain "auto" by default.
  * PgCommon.pm, [sg]et_conf_value: Regard fractional and negative values as
    simple values that do not need quoting. Closes: #336675

postgresql-common (29) unstable; urgency=low

  * pg_wrapper: Do not override an already defined PGPORT environment
    variable. Closes: #335692
  * debian/postgresql-common.cron: Check if pg_maintenance is available before
    calling it, to avoid errors when package is removed, but not purged.
    Closes: #333803
  * pg_createcluster: Do not enable SSL on 7.4 clusters since enabling it
    without enabling the TCP socket breaks.
  * Add support for configuring the start/stop behavior in start.conf:
    - debian/init.d-functions: Only start/stop the cluster in 'auto' mode.
    - pg_ctlcluster: Only operate in 'auto' and 'manual' modes, print an error
      in 'disabled' mode.
    - pg_createcluster: Create a default start.conf file.
    - pg_dropcluster: Remove start.conf file.
    - architecture.html, pg_createcluster POD: Document the file and the
      possible options.
    - Closes: #224047
  * Fix testsuite expected output for new upstream versions (7.4.9 and 8.0.4).

postgresql-common (28) unstable; urgency=high

  * Urgency high since this version only fixes a very important bug with a
    safe patch.
  * Moved package development to bazaar-ng, updated debian/README.Devel.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Revert change of version 26: Do create
    the socket directory in the postinst, otherwise clusters will default to
    socket directory /tmp in some cases.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Thu, 20 Oct 2005 12:56:36 +0200

postgresql-common (27) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changed my debuild alias to explicitly ignore .arch-ids directories (a
    mere -i catched some, but not all arch directories). Closes: #328204
  * Add lintian overrides for missing manpages; manpages are provided by
    postgresql-client-X.Y packages.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Have autovac-* commands error out with a meaningful message
    instead of claiming success if pg_autovacuum is not available.
  * pg_ctlcluster:
    - Increase the timeout for the started postmaster to 30 seconds to cope
      with slow startup. Closes: #320444
    - Immediately fail if the postmaster produced log output and does not run
      any more. This avoids unnecessary timeouts on configuration errors and
      the like.
  * pg_createcluster: Listen on localhost by default only since upstream
    considers listening on all interfaces by default not safe enough.
    Closes: #318820
  * pg_dropcluster: Handle missing data directories gracefully. 
    Closes: #330135

postgresql-common (26) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix permissions of socket directory:
    - debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Drop creation of socket directory
      since we do it in the init script anyway.
    - debian/init.d-functions: Create directory with permissions 2775 instead
      of 755 and also correct the permissions of an already existing
      directory.
    - Closes: #326049
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Remove --no-create-home option from
    adduser call to ensure that the postgres user always has a sensible home
    directory that does not break "su - postgres".
  * pg_wrapper: Give a meaningful error message if no client packages are
    installed, instead of "Invalid PostgreSQL cluster version".
    Closes: #326771
  * debian/README.Devel: Explain the structure and development of Debian's
    PostgreSQL packages.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Wed,  7 Sep 2005 10:50:31 +0200

postgresql-common (25) unstable; urgency=low

  * PgCommon.pm, get_cluster_socketdir():
    - If the socket directory is configured in postgresql.conf, use it right
      away instead of doing experiments before.
    - Improved sanity checking.
    - Error out if the data directory cannot be stat'ed, since we cannot
      determine a sensible directory in this case.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Don't call cluster_info() on the yet nonexistant
    new cluster, just check for the data directory for determining if the new
    cluster already exists.
  * debian/control: Add adduser dependency.
  * testsuite: Generalize stopping of servers to work with all versions.
  * Avoid whinging during log rotation if there is no log file at all:
    - debian/postgresql-common.logrotate: Add "missingok".
    - debian/postgresql-common.dirs: Create /var/log/postgresql/.
    - Server packges have been changed to not clean away /var/log/postgresql/
      on purge.
    - Closes: #325330
  * pg_ctlcluster: When starting the autovacuum daemon, don't just wait for 1
    second, but actually test if the server is running  (timeout: 5 seconds);
    this should make the daemon startup much more reliable.
  * Remove test upgrade script upgrade-scripts/all_test_t1.sql, it has done
    its purpose now.

 -- Martin Pitt <mpitt@debian.org>  Wed, 31 Aug 2005 01:01:49 +0200

postgresql-common (24) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add /usr/share/postgresql-common/pg_checksystem: Check system parameters
    which are relevant to PostgreSQL. Right now this checks if write caching
    is enabled on any disk containing PostgreSQL clusters.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Call pg_checksystem. Closes: #318928
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.6.2.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Setup user 'postgres' with /bin/bash as
    default shell. Closes: #320810
  * pg_wrapper, debian/postgresql-common.links: Wrap reindexdb, it is a
    standard client program in 8.1.
  * pg_createcluster: Do not create autovacuum log file for servers >= 8.1.
  * PgCommon.pm: For determining avac_enable on 8.1+ servers, read
    "autovacuum" setting from postgresql.conf.
  * pg_maintenance: Use avac_enable flag instead of checking for the
    pg_autovacuum pid file to determine whether autovacuuming is enabled. This
    is a more general approach and works for all server versions.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Do not attempt to start pg_autovacuum on 8.1+ servers.
  * pg_createcluster: Add hook for version specific function to configure
    postgresql.conf.
  * pg_createcluster: Add default configuration for 7.4 clusters:
    - tcpip_socket = true
    - stats_row_level = true
  * pg_createcluster: Add default configuration for 8.0 clusters:
    - listen_addresses = '*'
    - stats_row_level = true
  * pg_createcluster: Add default configuration for 8.1 clusters:
    - listen_addresses = '*'
    - stats_row_level = on
    - autovacuum = on
  * PgCommon.pm, set_conf_value(): Preserve comments.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Generalized restarting of all clusters
    to make it automatically work for future versions.
  * pg_createcluster: Adapt pg_hba.conf to the current default (md5 for host
    connections, ident sameuser for local ones); this obsoletes the
    default-pg_hba.conf patches in the server packages.
  * user_clusters: Update comments, throw out bogus documentation.
    Closes: #324749
  * pg_createcluster: Only mangle configuration files (pg_hba.conf, SSL
    enabling, etc.) if we create a new cluster, not if we integrate an already
    existing one. Closes: #323878
  * Add debian/postgresql-common.logrotate: Simple log rotation.

  * pg_maintenance: Change directory to / before changing uid to avoid "could

  * Drop upgrade-scripts/all_vacuum_t1.sql since it causes too much trouble
    with big databases. Replace it with upgrade-scripts/all_test_t1.sql which
    just counts the tables in the database. This should be unintrusive, fast,
    and still appropriate for testing the upgrade scripts mechanism.
    Closes: #319035
  * pg_ctlcluster: Check if autovacuum log file symlink is dangling and avoid
    warnings about uninitialized warnings. Instead print out a meaningful
    error message. Closes: #318717
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Generate a dummy
    /etc/postgresql-common/root.crt if not present. Closes: #319110

postgresql-common (20) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add infrastructure for executing SQL or executable scripts on clusters and
    databases on upgrade. This can be useful to apply security updates which
    need to change database layouts (like for CAN-2005-1409), do checks on
    upgrades, and maybe other things.
    - Add run-upgrade-scripts and call it in the postinst.
    - Add /usr/share/postgresql-common/upgrade-scripts/ where scripts are
      stored into.
    - Add /usr/share/postgresql-common/upgrade-scripts/SPECIFICATION.
    - This checks for available databases, thus will not fail on a nonexisting
      template0. Closes: #312707
    - Tests are run right after starting all clusters. Also, the package
      installation does not fail if the upgrade fails on a single cluster or
      database. Closes: #308685
  * pg_ctlcluster: pg_ctl's -o option is not cumulative, fix postmaster
    argument passing. This ensures that "-c unix_socket_directory" is always
    passed to the postmaster.
  * pg_createcluster: Do not configure a cluster for SSL if the owner is not
    the owner of /etc/postgresql-common/postgresql.pem. This fixes cluster
    creation for non-postgres owners.
  * Add test 130_nonpostgres_clusters: Check cluster creation and operation
    for a cluster owned by "nobody".
  * Add upgrade-scripts/all_vacuum_t1.sql: Upgrade script that will just
    vacuum all available databases. This is pretty useful and harmless, and is
    a good thing to test upgrade scripts at a larger scale.
  * init.d-functions: Rename autovac-* to autovac_* to comply to POSIX shell
    identifier rules. Closes: #315551

    the configuration.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Only restart servers when configuring.
  * debian/init.d-functions: "pg_ctl restart" does not seem to re-read certain
    configuration parameters like the socket directory, so replace it with
    stop+start.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Create /var/run/postgresql before
    creating the initial cluster to ensure that the socket directory will be
    present. Closes: #312899
  * Added debian/postgresql-common.postrm: Clean up on purge.

  * Add test 120_obsolete_confparams: Upgrade a 7.4 cluster with all
    possible 7.4 options enabled.
  * PgCommon.pm: Fix parsing of autovacuum parameters.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Respect the avac_debug autovacuum configuration option.
  * pg_createcluster: Since the new default socket directory is
    /var/run/postgresql, explicitly set /tmp as socket directory for clusters
    if /var/run/postgresql is not writable by the cluster owner.
  * PgCommon.pm, get_cluster_socketdir(): If unix_socket_directory is not
    specified explicitly in postgresql.conf, default to /var/run/postgresql
    for postgres-owned clusters. Closes: #313651
  * pg_ctlcluster: Do not sleep at all after starting the postmaster if we
    don't run the autovacuum daemon; sleep for a full second if we do.

postgresql-common (12) experimental; urgency=low

  * pg_ctlcluster: Remove "status" command, it's not documented and not
    really useful.
  * PgCommon: Fix cluster_info for avac_logfile to make pg_dropcluster clean
    away the autovacuum log file.

  * Factored out change_ugid() to PgCommon.pm and use it in the scripts.
  * Added pg_maintenance(8) program.
  * Activated formerly disabled postgresql-common.cron.d which calls
    pg_maintenance.
  * pg_createcluster: Default to cluster owner 'postgres' if no owner is
    specified.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Fix pg_controldata output parsing and call pg_controldata
    under locale 'C' to work with all locales. Closes: #310716
  * pg_createcluster: Added --socket-dir option.
  * PgCommon.pm: Fix declaration of @lines in set_conf_value() to avoid
    duplicating the lines in configuration files.
  * PgCommon.pm: Converted to use strict to avoid future errors.

    debugging).
  * PgCommon.pm, user_cluster_map(): If several clusters exist, but no
    mapping is configured, return not only the default port's cluster version,
    but also its name. This fixes the socket directory determination for this
    case.
  * debian/rules: Fix clean target to remove the manpages created from POD
    again.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Provide socket directory arguments to psql and
    pg_dumpall to make it work for sockets which are not in /tmp.
