Bug#703645: packaging the database schema
A database schema is required in order to run the PostBooks application
The database schema is not included in the source tarball. Rather,
upstream distributes the schema as a separate download
They have several schemas available:
- an empty database (just the tables)
- a quickstart database (includes chart of accounts and other standard
content in the tables)
- a demo database (like quickstart, but also includes sample customers
and transaction data)
The current versions are available here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/postbooks/files/03%20PostBooks-databases/4.1.0/
They also mention an installer but it is not clear whether their
"installer" will run as a Debian package or if it is better to just
treat the quickstart schema as a new source package and implement a
postinst script to install it.
