I now uploaded 7.4.8-1 into Sid, with the new upstream bugfix
microrelease and some important (as well as trivial) Debian bug fixes:
postgresql (7.4.8-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Urgency medium: Only important and trivial fixes which must reach Sarge.
* New upstream version; includes the security fixes from 7.4.7-6 and lots of
medium to high critical bug fixes.
* Removed the following patches (included upstream):
- debian/patches/50CAN-2005-0247
- debian/patches/51CAN-2005-1409
- debian/patches/52CAN-2005-1410
* debian/postinst.in: db_security_update_CAN_2005_1409_1410(): Do not fail
completely if the security update cannot be applied to a single data base,
but rather print an error message for this database. Closes: #307888
* debian/po/pt_BR.po: Fixed some typos, thanks to Andre Luis Lopes.
Closes: #308328
* debian/preinst.in: Also save libraries in /var/lib/postgresql/lib.
Closes: #307693
* debian/postgresql-startup.in: Fixed handling of stale and invalid PID
files. Closes: #304861
* debian/postinst.in: Print the output of the start command. Closes: #305717
* debian/postinst.in: Only start, not restart the server; at configure time,
the server is already stopped.
* debian/postinst.in, debian/postgresql-startup.in: Check whether locale is
actually valid before attempting to start initdb/postmaster under it.
Closes: #253913
* debian/patches/03initdb_for_debian: Add --debian-autostart to initdb,
which is invoked in maintainer scripts, where the postmaster is started
automatically and no "how to start" message is appropriate; however, show
the message when calling initdb directly. Closes: #308686
I would really appreciate to see this in Sarge. Do you accept this? If
not, which parts would you accept, so that I can prepare a package for
t-p-u?
Thanks and have a nice weekend!
Martin
