Description : common framework for packaging database applications
dbconfig-common is an implementation of the "best practices for database
applications" (http://people.debian.org/~seanius/policy/dbapp-policy.html)
draft, which provides debian packagers with an easy, reliable, and
consistant method for managing databases used by debian packages.
dbconfig-common can:
* create databases and database users
* access local or remote databases
* upgrade/modify databases when upstream changes database structure
* remove databases and database users
* prompt users with a set of normalized, pre-translated questions
* do all the hard work automatically
* work for package maintainers with little effort on their part
* work for local admins with little effort on their part
* comply with an agreed upon set of standards for behaviour
* do absolutely nothing if it is the whim of the local admin
* reconfigure the database of a package via dpkg-reconfigure
currently, only support exists for mysql databases, but i'm now
working on integrating postgresql support too. i've started
an alioth project if anyone is interested in helping out.
