postgresql-common (94lenny1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Urgency high because of RC bug fix (regression from Etch).
  * pg_ctlcluster, t/030_errors.t: Back out colliding ports check
    (r896), since in its current form it breaks setups where multiple
    clusters listen to the same port number, but are using different
    socket directories. This reopens #472627. (Closes: #514132)

  * t/070_non_postgres_clusters.t: Test that all cluster configuration files
    are owned by the cluster superuser. Reproduces #481349.
  * pg_createcluster: Make the cluster configuration directory, "start.conf",
    and "environment" owned by the cluster superuser instead of root.
    (Closes: #481349)
  * t/030_errors.t: Check behaviour of starting of clusters with colliding
    ports. Reproduces #472627.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Error out with a port collision message if another cluster
    is already running on the port. (Closes: #472627)
  * t/090_multicluster.t: Don't reconfigure cluster on conflicting port, since
    that now fails with above fix.

  * t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Test a direct upgrade from oldest to newest
    version in addition to consecutive version-by-version upgrades. This
    checks that parameters which changed several times between the versions
    are correctly converted. Reproduces #502106.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Re-read configuration file after doing the "syslog" ->
    "redirect_stderr" migration, so that the followup "redirect_stderr" ->
    "logging_collector" rename will actually be done. This fixes a direct 7.4
    -> 8.3 upgrade. (Closes: #502106)

    Thanks to Toni Mueller for noticing.
  * Demote ssl-cert Depends: to Recommends:. (Closes: #498406)
  * pg_upgradecluster: Provide --locale and -lc-* options similar to
    pg_createcluster, to provide easy UTF-8 migration from previous
    legacy-encoded clusters. (Closes: #505785)
  * t/052_upgrade_encodings.t: Test cases for pg_upgradecluster default and
    explicit encoding behaviour.
  * debian/init.d-functions: Use --force for forcefully stopping a running
    cluster for "restart" init.d operation as well. Otherwise restart is not
    guaranteed to succeed and could hang on existing connections.
    (Closes: #481359)
  * t/052_upgrade_encodings.t: Test upgrading of an SQL_ASCII database in a
    cluter running under a proper locale. This reproduces #505449.

  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Update root.crt header comment for

  * pg_ctlcluster: Fix typo in pg_ctl error messages. Thanks to Aaron Schrab!
    (Closes: #488280)
  * pg_createcluster, pg_ctlcluster: Set the log file group to "adm" if
    the cluster is owned by a system user (like "postgres"). In the "owned by
    human user" case, keep it as that user's primary group. Check both cases in
    the test suite. (Closes: #483017)
  * t/TestLib.pm: Return "1" at the end, to avoid "TestLib.pm did not return a

  * t/030_errors.t: Add various test cases for stopping stopped clusters with
    stale or corrupt PID files, with and without --force. This reproduces
    #473879.

  * t/030_errors.t: Test graceful handling of absent /var/lib/postgresql.
    (Reproduces LP #210322). Adapt 020_create_sql_remove.t accordingly.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Check early whether the data directory exists and is
    accessible, to avoid lots of Perl warning clutter. (LP: #210322)
  * pg_createcluster POD: Clarify what "integrating existing cluster data
    directory" means: configuration files must already be present, we cannot
    create them out of thin air. (Closes: #475954)
  * pg_maintenance: Sort versions for predictable output (looks nicer and
    unbreaks the test suite).

postgresql-common (87) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Urgency medium since #472930 is an important bug fix.
  * debian/init.d-functions: If there are no clusters, exit with 4 (LSB-code
    for "unknown status") instead of 0 (which means "service is running", but
    it is debatable and confusing whether all clusters are running if there
    are none at all). (LP: #203966)
  * Update Spanish debconf translations, thanks Javier Fernández-Sanguino
    Peña. (Closes: #473405)
  * t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Run upgrades under
    default_transaction_read_only=on. t/040_upgrade.t still uses the default
    "off", so both cases get tested. This replicates the problem report from
    Karsten Hilbert.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Work with default_transaction_read_only=on.
  * debian/autovacuum.conf, architecture.html: Point out that this file is
    only relevant for PostgreSQL versions earlier than 8.1. Thanks to Ross
    Boylan for pointing this out.
  * Add t/051_inconsistent_encoding_upgrade.t: Check that upgrades from
    pre-8.3 to 8.3 succeed and have correct encodings if the old DB had a
    database whose encoding did not match the server locale. This reproduces
    #472930.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Fix handling of database encodings on upgrade, since
    8.3 now forces DB encodings and server locale to match:
    - With C locale, keep encoding of DBs on upgrade, just as in previous
      versions. (C is compatible with all encodings, and causes lots of string
      functions not to work correctly, but people still use it deliberately.)
    - With other  locales, create the target DB manually with a compatible
      encoding, and call pg_restore in a way to not create the target DB and
      automatically convert encoding.

    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)

  * 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.

  * 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.

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.

    non-root, too, if the invoker has sufficient permissions on the

    values to untaint them. Fixes taint error in pg_maintenance (and maybe
    some more). Closes: #357237

  * PgCommon.pm, change_ugid(): Fix the order of $< and $> assignment so that
    we don't trash the saved uid and can switch back later. This allows us to
    make use of this function in the test suite, too.
  * t/TestLib.pm: Use change_ugid() in exec_as() get auxiliary groups. This
    makes the test suite work with SSL keys which are only readable by
    ssl-cert group members.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Untaint PID value read from autovacuum.pid.
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Add check that SSL is automatically enabled on
    >= 8.0 clusters.
  * pg_createcluster: Improve SSL key access check to be more robust.
  * Enable taint checking in all programs and fix the resulting breakage.
  * PgCommon.pm: Replace backticks program calling with proper |- pipe
    opening to avoid intermediate shell and argument quoting problems.
  * testsuite: Only execute tests ending with .t.
  * Add t/100_upgrade_scripts.t: Test upgrade scripts.
  * run-upgrade-scripts:
    - Filter out the 'postgres' database on 8.1+ clusters.
    - Temporarily enable connections to databases which disable them.
    - Execute scripts in asciibetical order.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Ensure that /var/lib/postgresql is
    owned by postgres:postgres. (https://launchpad.net/bugs/32696)
  * t/*.t: Remove hashbang lines to avoid lintian warnings.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Only restart servers if upgrading from
    a version with important pg_ctlcluster changes in between (currently,
    prior than 40).
  * t/090_multicluster.t: Add test for user_clusters behaviour.
  * PgCommon.pm, user_cluster_map(): Print a meaningful error message instead
    of 'invalid symbolic link' gibberish if a cluster in user_clusters or
    .postgresqlrc does not exist.
  * pg_ctlcluster:
    - Exit with code 2 if the cluster is already (start)/not (stop) running
      and fix error messages to be consistent. (See bug #355004)
    - Document the exit codes in the POD.
    - t/030_errors.t: Adapt test suite.
  * debian/init.d-functions:
    - Use log_daemon_msg/log_progress_msg to show all clusters of a particular
      version on the same line, to better conform to standards.
    - Call restart instead of stop/start.
    - Do not fail if cluster is already (start)/not (stop) running to conform
      to LSB.

    Closes: #353832
  * pg_dropcluster: Remove /etc/postgresql/<version> and
    /var/lib/postgresql/<version> if empty.
  * t/TestLib.pm: Added check_clean() method to test for empty PostgreSQL
    related directories and processes, and use it in all tests.
  * pg_dropcluster: Remove default log file. This avoids leaving it behind if
    the log file directory was changed in postgresql.conf.

  * debian/maintscripts-functions, configure_version(): Improve check for
    already existing clusters to not catch subdirectories with non-cluster
    files (e. g. a single *.old and similar).
  * pg_ctlcluster: Add option -o to pass parameters to the postmaster process.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Avoid error message from ls if
    /usr/lib/postgresql does not exist.

    only use Debian's log directory if neither is set. Thanks to Scott Chapman
    for discovering this issue.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Create the log file if it does not yet exist; this ensures
    that we always know the file postmaster really uses and avoids the race
    condition with nonexisting files if log_filename contains time macros.

  * 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

    - listen_addresses = '*'
    - stats_row_level = 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

  * pg_maintenance: Change directory to / before changing uid to avoid "could
    not change directory" errors. Closes: #318604.
  * 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
  * debian/postgresql-common.postrm: Remove /etc/postgresql-common/root.crt on

  * pg_createcluster: If /etc/postgresql-common/root.crt exists, symlink
    root.crt from the data directory. Closes: #318818

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

  * debian/control: Recommend openssl and explain its purpose.
  * pg_createcluster: If SSL certificate and key exist, symlink it to the
    cluster directory where the postmaster looks for them and enable SSL in
    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.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Check whether the user postgres exists
    before calling adduser to avoid confusing warning messages.

    otherwise it will always be /tmp if unix_socket_directory is not specified
    in postgresql.conf. Closes: #314537
  * Added tests/041_server_default_socketdir: Check that the socket is created
    in /var/run/postgresql if unix_socket_directory is not specified.
  * pg_ctlcluster:
    - On startup, check for a stale or invalid PID file and remove it if
      appropriate.
    - On stop, bail out on an invalid PID file. Closes: #304466.
  * Added tests/021_invalid_pidfile: Corrupt the pid file in various ways

    locally. Closes: #314292
  * testsuite: Ignore whitespace changes in expected vs. actual output.
  * tests/100_encodings: Fix race condition when showing postmaster processes:
    If we catch the postmaster right at fork() time, ps shows two postmaster
    instances instead of one. Filter them away to get the expected output.

  * 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
