* include a long-neglected fix from Adam Lebsack, which seems to fix the
problems prevents dbconfig-common from working with dash (closes: #406127).
this was also likely the cause of dbconfig appearing to attempt creating
the database/user in the wrong order (closes: #418479).
* remove some extra straggler bashisms, and use printf instead of echo
for the dbc_log functions.
* change function names for some internal debugging/logging functions.
* now dbc defaults to logging to /var/log/dbconfig-common/dbc.log, which
can perhaps make it a bit easier to get debugging info from folks who
experience bugs.

* fixed random password generating code so that passwords are always
12 characters long. previously a newline character from /dev/urandom
could cause it to be truncated.
* correction version number in sample sql script for the db-test-mysql-2.1
example package. thanks to Niko Tyni (closes: #421009).

* dbconfig-load-include now returns the exit status of the "exec"
format (where the output is based on running a script), if appropriate.
thanks to Matt Brown for the patch (closes: #397089).
* single-quote settings in /etc/dbconfig-common/package.conf instead
of double-quoting them, and make sure any single quotes in the

* escape SQL-sensitive character sequences in passwords for user
creation SQL snippits.

dbconfig-generate-include (closes: #405598).
* another dpkg order-of-operations corner case: if unpacked but not
(pre-)configured, our debconf templates aren't registered yet, so

wrt the postrm script hooks. thanks to Anthony DeRobertis for catching
this before it was too late. this fixes an RC bug report with
dbconfig-common, so urgency=high. bugs may need to be filed
seperately against packages that used the examples verbatim.
* incorporate the "frontend" feature for read-only packages, where
someone may want to ask the questions but not take the actions.
see docs for details. thanks to Thomas Huriaux and Michael
Ablassmeier for the prompting on this one. closes: #373188.
* when doing upgrades, only ask for the administrative password
if there are upgrades to be applied. thanks to Michael Ablassmeier
for pointing this out. closes: #379730.
* merge debian/TODO and TODO into just TODO.
* dbconfig-generate-include was using tempfiles without removing
them afterwards. thanks to Thijs Kinkhorst for pointing this out.
* change dbconfig-generate-include to respect permissions that are
locally modified via dpkg-statoverride. thanks to Thijs Kinkhorst

* when reconfiguring a package, change the "install with dbconfig-common?"
question to "reinstall with dbconfig-common?", and default to false.

user should authenticate for pgsql applications (closes: #368219).

createuser cmd from stopping the install question with a
prompt about roles (defaulting to not giving users the

sql" even when it's doing normal sql.
* error checking when dumping the database in prerm. needs a bit
more work still as we end up going back through the postinst/configure

* dbconfig-common is now migrated to svn.debian.org.
* two fixes for GRANT command construction from Radu Spineanu:
- if dbc_dbserver is localhost, then dbc_dballow should
also be set to localhost (currently it's set to the output of
`hostname`, just like with remote connections)
- if connecting to a remote host, use the fqdn (`hostname -f`)
instead of the node name.
(closes: #362571).
* the source package in ./examples is now split into several
smaller source packages, one per binary. this should hopefully
make things much easier to understand for developers interested

* Cameron Dale noticed that a mix of script/sql/admin sql upgrades
would not necessarily be applied in sorted order with respect
to each other. this should be fixed now, but i'm sure i'll
hear if it isn't.
* added missing build-depend on gs.
* added a debugging and logging function, and started using it
in various places as i add more code. to get a little more
info on what goes on, export dbc_debug=1 before installing
a dbc-using package.
* logic fix for install/upgrades in postinst that would otherwise
result in installation code being run when it shouldn't, which
can be really annoying. now everything should work the way
it ought to...

program is being installed for the first time.
* initial support for an "ignore" option during installation, to
give the admin a way to bludgeon us into submission if we cause
the package to get into some kind of uninstallable/unremovable wedge
state, or if the admin tries to install the same version twice.
thanks to craig small for the suggestion (closes: #333611).
* an "improvement" to the upgrade logic, so dbc won't get clever and
try and do stuff it shouldn't during an upgrade.

dbconfig-common (1.8.6) unstable; urgency=low
[ sean finney ]
* with multidb support, subsequent installs would override the
chosen dbtype and default to what the autodetection found. thanks
to Craig Small for pointing this out (closes: #333109).
* similar to above, dbc_authmethod_user was being overridden by
a "default" value. fixed.
* in pgsql, if dbc_authmethod_admin is ident and dbc_authmethod_user
is set to password, the admin would be prompted on the terminal
for the dbuser's password because of a bug in internal/pgsql.
* removed duplicate and unneccesary call to mktemp in _dbc_psql.

* Sean Finney:
- make sure all cvs directories are removed from the final
package. thanks to Tim Olsen for pointing a few had slipped
through (closes: #325745).
- the postgres user now defaults to /bin/false as a shell, so
we explicitly add '-s /bin/sh' when su'ing to postgres. thanks
to Craig Small for finding this.
- added "-c" option to credit-xlators for my own convenience.
- debconf template updates.
- there was some leakage/spillage of the dbc_dbname environment
variable that messed things up for postgres users. this should
fix that issue. thanks to Craig Small for all the help
(closes: #329730).
* Bart Cornelis:
- Spelling fixes and some translations for new strings sent in by
Thijs Kinkhorst.

- dbc no longer provides preinst hooks, as we can't promise
dbconfig-common will be there without pre-depends. turns out
there was a more graceful way to handle what we wanted to do
in there anyway. also updated example packages accordingly.
thanks to Miguel (as well as Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt)
for finding this (closes: #323620).
- updated vi.po fro clytie siddall (closes: #322281).

* First release targeted at unstable. w00t!
* Sean Finney
- Initial Support for importing configurations from packages that
may have had pre-existing configs before using dbc, via the
dbconfig-load-include script.
- removed a bunch of duplicated pgsql code in internal/common.
- su to $dbc_dbadmin if connecting to localhost via ident authentication,
instead of postgres. for all other methods, don't change userid
(stay as root).
- add support for an "install-dbadmin" data directory, which functions
like the "install" directory except it guarantees to be run as the
database administrator (only really applicable for some pgsql
applications currently).
- various updates to documentation and "best-practices" policy draft.
- removed unused empty directories from the list of directories to
install.
- added the note about random password generation to the postgres
app-pass template too.
- updated TODO a bit.
- include a manpage for dbconfig-load-include.
- other cosmetic lintian-discovered fixes.

dbconfig-common (1.8.1) experimental; urgency=low
* the mysql verify user/db functions were broken in 1.8 thanks to my "better
error notification" fix.
* changed a couple references of upgrade_error to dbc_upgraded error,
as pointed out by tobias. there was also an remove_error that should
be dbc_remove_error
* various fixes for postgresql remote connections
* don't allow empty admin passwords in pgsql, since they don't work anyway.
* don't repeat asking for the admin password.
* use the return status of the execute sql/script functions, not the
value of dbc_status, which is not consistant and probably on its way
out. thanks to tobias for pointing this out.
* return 0, not exit 0 in dbc_go functions, as it will otherwise
halt the entire maintainer script.
* added three new maintainer-specifiable variables:
- dbc_generate_include_owner
- dbc_generate_include_perms
- dbc_generate_include_args
which are passed to dbconfig-generate-include and do just what you'd
expect. Thanks to Miguel Gea Milvaques for the idea and initial patch.
* updated THANKS.

dbconfig-common (1.8) experimental; urgency=low
* dbconfig-common now defaults to blank passwords implying the
admin wants a random password (this makes automatic installations
even easier) thanks to Tobias Grimm <tobias.grimm@e-tobi.net> for
the inspiration.
* the admin is prompted only once if the app. password is blank. thanks
to tobias for the idea.
* added dependency on pwgen for generating passwords.
* the manpage for dbconfig-generate-include was never built into
the binary. d'oh!
* character encoding fix in the changelog to make lintian happy.
* limit mysql usernames to 16 characters long, as that's a built
in limit.
* the dbc_log functions now always produce output, as it's actually
helpful to see what's going on.
* dbconfig-generate-include has changed behavior. -P/--dbport is now for
port and -m/--mode is for mode (was -P/--perms, but i can't think of
a good name for port otherwise!).
* forget the host/port responses if reconfigured to use a local connection.
otherwise that causes confusion.
* better error notification in the internal mysql code.
* if something goes wrong in the install process, forget that we've
seen the relevant debconf questions (so they will be asked again).

dbconfig-common (0.9) experimental; urgency=low
* we now support for packages that support multiple underlying
database types, such as webapps that use db-independant code.
see documentation for details.
* postgres support upgraded from "initial" to "basic". all the
basic operations (install, upgrade, remove) work on a default
debian postgres installation running on the same machine. pretty
much everything else still doesn't
* error code is now more consolidated, providing more information
to the user, and generally more robust. there's still plenty of
room for improvement.
* we no longer default to keeping admin and app passwords stored
in debconf. by default they're removed after they're no longer
needed by the postinst. this can be overridden via a global config
setting, though they're never stored in a config file.
* the dbpass setting is no longer stored in the per-package config.
* prompting for the admin and user passwords is now consolidated
into two functions, which should help prevent code duplication
in future situations where we need to ask for the information
again (errors, include-file generators).
* initial version of dbconfig-generate-include, for taking db
configuration to generate code scriptlets (php, perl, et c) with
the db configuration needed to use the database.
* documentation updated to reflect changes
