Uploaded postgresql 6.5.2-1 (source i386 all) to master



The Debian packages of PostgreSQL 6.5.2 are now released into unstable.

This upload fixes a number of bugs.  However, please take extra care in
installing this.  One of the bugfix changes was to move the default
package location from /var/postgres to /var/lib/postgres.  The package
should cope with this by modifying /etc/postgresql/postmaster.init
(in the preinst of postgresql) to record the database location explicitly
as /var/postgres/data.

If you want to move your pre-existing database to /var/lib/postgres,
do it by hand and then change the definition of PGDATA in
/etc/postgresql/postmaster.init.

Package splitting:  the binary packages are further split down.
Pgaccess is now split off from libpgtcl as a separate package.
The package postgresql-clients has been split out of postgresql
and libpgsql2.  You will probably need to install these
packages, if you previously had installed the ones from which they
have been split.

Major changes: now compiled with support for multibyte encoding as well
as locale support.  The default encoding can be chosen in the postinst
script, and new databases can be created with a particular encoding.
If none is chosen, the default is UNICODE.

 .
   * New upstream bug fixing release
   * Added pgaccess 0.98, which had got lost from the upstream package
   * Switched from /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc (with debhelper)
   * Incorporated various patches from Massimo Dal Zotto to contrib and to
     debian/rules:
 	  The `clean' target of debian/rules forgot to delete some files.
 	  The sql files of many contrib modules were installed in
 	  /usr/lib/postgresql/modules instead of /usr/lib/postgresql/sql as
 	  suggested by the original makefiles.  The same happened with the
 	  contrib doc files which now go instead into
 	  /usr/share/doc/postgresql-contrib. The directory
 	  /usr/lib/postgresql/modules now contains only the .so modules.
 	  The various README files in the contrib package are renamed
 	  README.<module>, for example README.spi.
 	  Some contrib documentation was not present in the contrib package.
 	  The original makefiles are now patched with a target `install-doc'
 	  which is now called by the debian/rules to install the docs.
 	  In contrib/pginterface/Makefile the first target was `clean'
 	  instead of `all' so that the programs were deleted by a make
 	  without target called from debian/rules; thus nothing was included
 	  in the debian package.
 	  The first target is now `all'.
 	  Gave a full LD_LIBRARY_PATH to dh_shlibdeps to ensure that the
 	  dependency for postgresql-python is correct.
 	  Substituted `rm -rf ' for `find -depth ... -exec rm' because
 	  the -depth switch does not seem to work on all versions of find.
 	  Increased the maximum number of backends to 64; this takes more
 	  shared memory, but otherwise has no impact on the system - unless they
 	  are all used!
   * Made the startup script increase the size of the kernel file table, to
     allow for each backend to open a large number of files.
   * Created a manual page for /etc/postmaster.init (section 5).
   * Added dependency on procps (>= 1.9), because certain features used in
     postinst are not available in 1.2.9 and maybe later versions.  This
     probably also fixes bug#43414.
   * Removed unneeded file PyGreSQL.copyright from debian directory.
   * Commented out a duplicate call to dh_shlibdeps in debian/rules build-arch.
     I don't know why it was there.
   * Changed the version variable in debian/rules from 6.4 to 6.5.2.  It looks
     as though this is no longer used...
   * Disabled the makefile in contrib/os2client, since it is not appropriate
     to a Linux system.
   * Changed debian/rules to correct editing of mklang_pl.sql, which was
     being left with @expanded_libdir@ in it.  Closes Bug#43452.
   * Moved the UNIX socket file from /tmp to /var/run/postgresql.
     Closes bug#43665.
   * Compiled with multi-byte support, with UNICODE as the default; (other
     encodings can be used for separate databases). Closes bug#43702.
   * Changed postgresql's postinst to prompt for the default database
     encoding.
   * Install PyGreSQL tutorial in /usr/share/doc/python/pygresql
   * Wait 5 seconds between restarting the postmaster and attempting to
     connect to the template1 database. Closes bug#42446.
   * Change directory to $PGHOME before attempting to use psql; this should
     avoid the error "shell-init: could not get current directory" that
     must have been caused by the postinst's running in a directory that
     postgres could not access.  Closes bug#42842.
   * Create new package postgresql-client to hold scripts and front-end
     programs separately from libpgsql.  Closes bug#42988, #42996, #44859
   * Create new package odbc-postgresql, for ODBC access to the PostgreSQL
     backend.  Closes bug#45583.
   * Guess the correct datestyle by looking at the default timezone (the link
     from /etc/localtime) and use this as the default in the postinst.
   * Use ./${PROFILE} instead of ./.profile in the postinst, since some
     installations aren't using Bourne shell.  This was already half-done,
     but the one omission broke at least one installation. Closes bug#45486.
   * Separated pgaccess into a separate package.
   * Patched Perl library for treatment of BLOBs (patch from
     Douglas Thomson <dougt@mugc.cc.monash.edu.au>). Closes bug#45638.
   * Changed default home directory to /var/lib/postgres.  Closes bug#45720.
