Done, here is the annotated changelog:
postgresql (7.4.7-6sarge1) testing-proposed-updates; urgency=low
.
* 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
-> Highly important, applying the security update fails for all users
which have databases with disabled connections (as some packages
create by default). Instead of having the package configuration fail
completely, warn about the databases which failed and tell what to do.
* debian/po/pt_BR.po: Fixed some typos, thanks to Andre Luis Lopes.
Closes: #308328
-> Trivial translation update.
* debian/postgresql-startup.in: Fixed handling of stale and invalid PID
files. Closes: #304861
-> If the postmaster was not shut down cleanly for some reason, this
patch makes it actually start again (which failed with previous
versions). Not very difficult patch either.
* debian/README.Debian: Added section "First steps for the impatient".
-> Trivial, just touches README.Debian.
* Added debian/patches/53transaction-race:
- Repair race condition that allowed a transaction to be seen as committed
for some purposes (eg SELECT FOR UPDATE) slightly sooner than for other
purposes. This is an extremely serious bug since it could lead to
apparent data inconsistencies being briefly visible to applications.
- Backported from stable 7.4.8 release.
* Added debian/patches/54vacuum-race:
- Repair race condition between relation extension and VACUUM
This could theoretically have caused loss of a page's worth of
freshly-inserted data, although the scenario seems of very low
probability.
- Backported from stable 7.4.8 release.
-> These two are the most critical fixes backported from 7.4.8.
Please see [1] for the full debdiff to the Sarge release.
Thanks for considering and have a nice day!
