  * debian/backport-ppa: Add oneiric.
  * logrotate 3.8 landed in unstable, rebuild against this to get a proper

  * pg_ctlcluster: Prefer setting oom_score_adj over oom_adj, as the latter is
    deprecated. (Closes: #646096)
  * Add debian/tests/{control,system}: DEP-8/autopkgtest control files for
    running the integration tests.
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Set stdin for forked psql process, so that the

postgresql-common (125) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add debian/backport-ppa: Script to generate and upload backport packages
    to my Ubuntu PPA. Only for personal use.
  * Add t/160_alternate_confroot.t: Test creation, operation, upgrading, and
    removal of clusters as user nobody using $PG_CLUSTER_CONF_ROOT. This
    reproduces LP#835630 and other bugs.
  * PgCommon.pm: If $PG_CLUSTER_CONF_ROOT is set, untaint it.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Don't hardcode /etc/postgresql/, use
    $PgCommon::confroot to respect $PG_CLUSTER_CONF_ROOT. (LP: #835630)
  * pg_upgradecluster: Add --logfile option to specify a custom log file for
    the upgraded cluster. Necessary if you want to run this on
    per-user clusters and can't write into /var/log/postgresql/.
  * pg_ctlcluster: When starting as root for >= 9.1, adjust the OOM killer
    protection to -16, so that the postmaster does not get OOM-killed so
    easily (as it appears to claim all the shared memory). 9.1.1-3 and later
    resets oomadj of child processes to 0, so that the client backends can
    still get OOM-killed. Add tests to t/020_create_sql_remove.t.
    (LP: #854590)
  * debian/control: Add Breaks: to postgresql-9.1 versios before 9.1.1-3, as
    they do not reset oomadj for child processes. This is a precaution to
    avoid running all the client backends with -16 as well.
  * Add t/170_extensions.t: Check that all shipped extensions install and
    remove.
  * Add t/180_ecpg.t: Check that ecpg works. In t/001_packages.t, check that
    libecpg-dev is installed.

  * Keeping urgency medium, as 123 did not make it into testing yet.
  * PgCommon.pm, cluster_info(): Use /bin/ps instead of reading /proc/*/comm,
    the latter was reported to not work on some systems.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Use PgCommon::check_pidfile_running and drop duplicated
    code.
  * pg_wrapper: The previous multiarch globbing was wrong, as it looked for
    the architecture in uname() (which doesn't work on i386, where uname says
    i686). Now get the multiarch library path from whereever psql expects
    libedit.so to be, so that this even works if you install postgresql-client
    for a foreign architecture.

  * Urgency medium, as bug 644078 slipped into testing, and is quite a nasty
    regression for people that it affects.
  * t/001_packages.t: Check that the -plpython3 package is installed for
    >= 9.1.
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Check that the "plpython3u" language works.
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: More thoroughly check PL/Perl and PL/PerlU.
  * PgCommon.pm, cluster_info(): If we have a PID file and can read it (i. e.
    as root), prefer doing this over probing the port. This delivers the
    correct result with e. g. "pg_ctlcluster restart" when the port got
    changed in the configuration file. (Closes: #643850)
  * pg_wrapper: Drop dpkg-architecture call; we don't want to introduce a
    dependency to dpkg-dev, and DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH also isn't available in
    backports. Just extend the libreadline.so globbing to cover multiarch
    paths as well. (Closes: #644078)
  * t/070_non_postgres_clusters.t: Test pg_upgradecluster. This reproduces
    #644477.

    pg_buildext tool needs it.
  * pg_wrapper: Find libreadline in multiarch directory, too.
    (Closes: #640520)
  * debian/rules: logrotate 3.8.0 requires specifying the "su" option, which
    is not backportable. Dynamically check the available logrotate version,
    and add it if it is >= 3.8. Also dynamically generate a dependency or
    breaks to logrorate 3.8+. (Closes: #640493)
  * PgCommon.pm: Allow '@' characters in LC_CTYPE/LC_COLLATE values. Thanks to
    Willi Mann for the patch. (Closes: #640031)
  * pg_upgradecluster: Print message for running the upgrade.d scripts, thanks
    Karsten Hilbert.
  * t/040_upgrade.t: Add test case for a database with read only default
    transactions. Reproduces #599085.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Set superuser configuration value of
    'default_transaction_read_only' to 'off' during the upgrade, so that
    upgrading databases with read only default transactions actually works.
    Thanks Karsten Hilbert for the suggestion. (Closes: #599085)
  * t/040_upgrade.t, pg_upgradecluster: Consistently use upper case for SQL
    keywords.

  * debian/supported-versions: Switch Ubuntu 11.10 to 9.1 (LP: #833684) and
    also preemtively add Ubuntu 12.04 (which will ship with 9.1, too).
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2, no changes necessary.
  * debian/rules: Call dh_installinit with -r to avoid restarting on upgrade.
    (Closes: #639140)
  * debian/control: Wrap dependencies.
  * debian/control, debian/rules: Convert from cdbs to dh, and bump
    Standards-Version to 7.
  * debian/control, debian/rules: Build the versionless metapackages from this
    source instead of the current postgresql-X.Y source. This behaves better
    with backports. Thanks to Christoph Berg for the suggestion.
  * debian/postgresql-common.lintian-overrides: Don't complain about missing
    manpage for pg_config, it's shipped by libpq-dev.
  * debian/control: Update description of the metapackages to actually say
    "metapackage" to quiesce lintian.
  * Split POD of pg_buildext into pg_buildext.pod, and update debian/rules to
    build the manpage from there. Fixes lintian "shell syntax failure"
    error.

  [ Peter Eisentraut ] 
  * pg_createcluster:
    - Use "peer" instead of "ident" on local socket connections from 9.1 on.

    configuration as valid if it is '(none)'. Fixes test suite regression in
    version 119.
  * debian/supported-versions: Switch to 9.1 as default and testing/unstable
    supported version. This will also cause -server-dev-all to only pull in
    -9.1.
  * PgCommon.pm: Partially revert changes for #606336: postmaster does not
    clean up the PID file when it stops, and it is not world readable, so only
    its absence is a definitive result. If the PID file is present, do the
    port probe to check if it is really running.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * PgCommon.pm, set_conf_value(): Fix the case where a key exists first as a
    commented value, and then uncommented. Add appropriate test cases to
    t/005_PgCommon.t. (Closes: #539651)
  * debian/postgresql-common.postgresql.init: Fix "status" command when some
    clusters are down. (Closes: #635594)
  * pg_upgradecluster: Only call pg_ctl with the -t option with old clusters
    >= 8.4, as earlier versions do not yet support it. (Closes: #633801)
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Remove some obsolete transition
    logic.
  * architecture.html, cleanpg, debian/init.d-functions, pg_createcluster:
    Remove obsolete references to per-version init scripts. (Closes: #636957)
  * debian/maintscripts-functions: Remove our tsearch data symlinks on
    removal. (Closes: #539611)
  * PgCommon.pm: Make {read,set,disable,replace}_conf_value() case
    independent for *.conf files, as per upstream specification. Add
    appropriate test cases to t/005_PgCommon.t. (Closes: #618577)
  * PgCommon.pm: Make {read,set,disable,replace}_conf_value() accept "key
    value" lines without '=', as this is optional as per upstream
    specification. Add appropriate test cases to t/005_PgCommon.t. Thanks
    to Frederic Junod for the original patch suggestion. (Closes: #618583)
  * PgCommon.pm, cluster_info(): If postgresql.conf defines an external PID
    file, check its existence for determining if a cluster is running, instead
    of poking the port. This is more efficient, and also gives correct results
    for overlapping port numbers. Based on a patch from Jens Wilke, thanks!

  * Add pg_config wrapper: If postgresql-server-dev-* is installed, this calls
    pg_config from the latest available one. Otherwise this falls back to
    libpq-dev's version. This should fix a common confusion for people who
    want to build e. g. 9.0 server-side extensions with a newer (like 9.1

  * pg_upgradecluster: Revert to the previous encode()/decode() wrapping in
    the "probin" fixup for cluster upgrades from versions < 9.0. Earlier
    versions' replace() function indeed does work on bytea types, not strings,
    so this broke upgrades to 8.4. (Closes: #627227)
  * pg_upgradecluster: Drop all unversioned configuration option transitions,
    which were still from the 7.4 → 8.0 days. These are obsolete, and
    versions >= 96 only support clusters >= 8.1 anyway. In some cases they
    actively break stuff, like inadvertently setting log_statement=all.
    (Closes: #617493)

    encode()/decode(). This has been wrong all the time, as the "probin"
    column already is of "text" datatype, and now breaks with 9.1.
  * Add support for 9.1:
    - Add 9.1 configuration method to pg_createcluster.
    - cleanpg: Stop 9.1 clusters.
    - t/040_upgrade.t: Don't call createlang for upgrades from 9.0 on, as
      PL/pgsql is enabled there by default.
    - t/050_encodings.t: Update for changed error message for invalid usage of

  * debian/supported-versions: Add Ubuntu 11.04. Drop versions which are newer
    than the ones supported in the released versions, as backports are now
    generally accepted by our .config scripts, but having those newer versions
    confuses pg_buildext.
  * debian/postgresql-common.config: Silence warning from --compare-versions

    This works around the underlying dpkg problem. (Closes: #608522)
  * Add debian/postgresql-common.sysctl: sysctl.d/ template for changing

  * pg_ctlcluster: Also pass additional pg_ctl arguments in "stop" and
    "reload" mode.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Pass correct exit code from pg_ctl in case of errors.
  * PgCommon.pm, get_db_encoding(): Fix uninitialized variable if psql fails.
  * t/040_upgrade.t: Check that pg_upgradecluster exits early and gracefully
    if the old cluster does not stop (usually because there are still active
    connections to it). This reproduces #509050.

    to it much ealier, and properly fail without starting the upgrade.
    (Closes: #509050)
  * debian/postgresql-common.preinst: Remove obsolete init script from
    postgresql-8.3 for upgrades from Lenny. It provides "postgresql" which is
    also provided by our common init script, and insserv chokes on this. Our
    common init script handles 8.3 as well and will just take over. Note that

  * t/030_errors.t: Check that pg_createcluster leaves the original one intact
    if the cluster already exists, also when the original one is not running.
    This reproduces #597097.
  * pg_createcluster: Be more careful with cleaning up the created cluster if
    an error occurs: Do not start the cleanup until we actually passed our
    sanity checks and created files for the new cluster. Before, it would
    erroneously remove an already existing cluster on a sanity check fail, if
    that cluster happened to not be running at the time. (Closes: #597097)
  * debian/supported-versions: Be more robust against lsb_release failing, e.
    g. in the case where it is not fully configured yet. (Closes: #597561)
  * debian/supported-versions: Drop check for /etc/debian_version if

  * PgCommon.pm: Add new function get_db_locales() which reads lc_ctype and
    lc_locales for a particular database. This replaces the
    get_cluster_locales() function for >= 8.4 server versions (which moved
    from global to per-database locales).
  * pg_upgradecluster: Use get_db_locales() instead of get_cluster_locales()
    for upgrades from >= 8.4.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Drop check for valid locales. We can only determine them
    (using pg_controldata through get_cluster_locales()) for <= 8.3 clusters,
    which are obsolete in sid/lenny. For >= 8.4 clusters, we need to start the
    server to find out the locales, at which point the check is pointless.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Run pg_restore with --disable-triggers when running in
    --data-only mode. (Closes: #579768)
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: We now assume that /var/log/postgresql/ always
    exists, and is writable by the "postgres" user. Thus if we delete the log,
    running "pg_ctlcluster start" should be able to recreate it. This fixes
    the 020_create_sql_remove.t test failure in "umask 077" mode, and uncovers
    some more inconsistencies wrt. log directory permissions.
  * pg_createcluster, testsuite: Fix permissions of /var/log/postgresql/ if
    this script creates it.

    - t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Add complete set of 8.3 configuration
      options, to test configuration migration to 8.4.
    - PgCommon.pm, get_cluster_locales(): Bail out if calling on 8.4 or later
      cluster (where locales are not associated to clusters any more).
      PgCommon.pm, get_cluster_databases(): Ignore lines from psql -Atl which
      just describe access permissions.
    - pg_ctlcluster: Only do locales check for <= 8.3 for now.
    - "ident sameuser" does not exist any more in 8.4, just use "ident" from
      8.4 on.
    - pg_createcluster: Do not symlink root.crt if
      /etc/postgresql-common/root.crt does not have actual certificates (just
      the help text), since 8.4 gets royally confused about the dummy one.

    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.
    - Closes: #472930, LP: #207779

  * 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.

    a -T perl script. Closes: #422129
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Do not hide failures of the init

  * Add debian/postgresql-client-common.lintian: Lintian overrides for 'binary

  * t/080_start.conf.t: Check that stop'ing a cluster works even if the
    cluster is disabled (test for bug #386996).
  * pg_ctlcluster: Allow 'stop' and 'autovac-stop' for disabled clustes.
    Closes: #386996
  * Reduce options passed to postmaster at runtime to shorten command line and
    make the configuration more obvious and explicit:
    - pg_ctlcluster: Do not pass unix_socket_dir/hba_file/ident_file if it is
      already defined in postgresql.conf.
    - pg_createcluster: If we create a cluster >= 8.0, set hba_file,
      ident_file, and external_pid_file in postgresql.conf.
    - 070_non_postgres_clusters.t: Fix expected output accordingly and
      use 'ls' for socket check instead of looking at the command line.

    Closes: #384757
  * t/090_multicluster.t: Check that $PGHOST and $PGDATABASE environment
    variables are respected and have the correct precedence. (This reproduces
    #385971). Now this test has full coverage of all libpq environment
    variables but $PGUSER (which is not used at all anywhere).
  * pg_wrapper: Do not override $PGDATABASE and $PGHOST with user_clusters
    map. Closes: #385971
  * Update Dutch debconf translations, thanks to Vincent Zweije.

  * Improve handling of custom socket directories:
    - pg_createcluster: Create a nonexisting directory.
    - pg_dropcluster: Remove empty socket directory unless it's /tmp or
      /var/run/postgresql.
    - Thanks to Bastian Kleineidam for the suggestions.

    suitable default cluster) if several local clusters exist and none are on
    the default port.
  * pg_wrapper: Print proper error message if no cluster is suitable as
    default target and point to man pg_wrapper.
  * pg_upgradecluster:
    - Support /etc/postgresql-common/pg_upgradecluster.d/ hook scripts. These
      are called after creating the virgin new version cluster (phase 'init')
      and a second time after the upgrade is complete (phase 'finish').
      PostgreSQL extensions like PostGIS can use these hooks to initialize
      metadata which must not be upgraded from the old cluster, but
      initialized from scratch. Closes: #351571
    - Document this feature in the manpage POD.
    - If upgrade scripts are present, call pg_restore with the new -X
      no-data-for-failed-tables option to not clutter already existing tables
      in the new cluster with data from the old cluster. Abort with an error
      if the installed pg_restore does not support this option.
    - debian/postgresql-common.dirs: Ship
      /etc/postgresql-common/pg_upgradecluster.d/.
  * Add t/120_pg_upgradecluster_scripts.t: Selftest for pg_upgradecluster.d
    hooks and proper pg_restore -X no-data-for-failed-tables behaviour.
  * PgCommon.pm, get_cluster_locales(): Fix parsing of locales out of
    pg_controldata output by calling it under the locale 'C' and being more

      unless 'external_pid_file' is already set in postgresql.conf.
      Closes: #180849, #184782
    - stop: Remove this external pid file (this should be done by the
      postmaster itself, but 8.1.4 does not).

    - Fix bashism: 'type -p' -> type.
  * debian/control: Have p-common always depend on the recent p-client-common,
    since the latter ships PgCommon.pm. If the library is out of date, this

      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:

  * 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

    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

    specified explicitly in postgresql.conf, default to /var/run/postgresql
    for postgres-owned clusters. Closes: #313651

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.
  * pg_maintenance: -v only influences vacuumdb output now, always show
    clusters.

  * 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.
