  * debian/maintscripts-functions, _link_manpages(): The move of pg_basebackup
    from server to client still affects upgrades from -9.1 to -9.3. Place the
    upgrade fix here instead of postgresql-9.1.preinst (which does not exist
    any more now). (LP: #1270597)

  * Replace the static logrotate configuration by generating the file
    dynamically using ucf, triggered by watching /usr/sbin/logrotate.
    This eases dist-upgrades that upgrade logrotate to >= 3.8 from an older
    version (squeeze->wheezy, precise->trusty).
  * postgresql-common.postinst: Stop debconf later so ucf can use it.
  * postgresql-common.postinst: Call su without - to avoid a warning.
  * t/003_package_checks.t: Add test case for logrotate.
  * pg_createcluster, t/001_packages.t: Refactor the ssl cert test, and add
    matching testcases in the testsuite.
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Make pipe writes unbuffered.
  * pg_buildext: Document the loop action (present since version 141).
  * pg_buildext: Add "installcheck" action for use with autopkgtest.
  * pg_buildext: Support $action-$version when the loop is contained in the
    calling script. (Mostly useful for installcheck-x.y.)
  * postgresql-server-dev-all: Add "make" to depends because pg_buildext is
    mostly useless without it; extensions using autopkgtest would otherwise
    need to include it in their debian/tests/control files.
  * pgxs_debian_control.mk: Add "clean: debian/control" and
    ".PHONY: debian/control".
  * pg_virtualenv: Fix exit code shown with -s.
  * pg_createcluster, pg_virtualenv: -o will set postgresql.conf parameters.
  * postgresql-common: In /usr/share/postgresql-common/pgdg/,
    install apt.postgresql.org.sh to enable activating the pgdg repository.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * testsuite, pg_virtualenv: Don't fail if ifconfig is not installed. We
    don't require it as a dependency, and this breaks e. g. autopkgtests in
    minimal environments.
  * t/150_tsearch_stemming.t: Add tests for stemming/searching with non-ASCII
    characters. (See #689997)
  * debian/postgresql-common.triggers: Also trigger on
    /usr/share/postgresql/, so that installation of new server versions builds

  * debian/postgresql-common.config: Sort versions to determine the latest.
  * pg_buildext: Support "X.Y+" and "all" in debian/pgversions so packages do
    not need to hardcode the versions they support, as that's usually not
    necessary.
  * pgxs_debian_control.mk: Drop the previously redundant grep check on
    debian/pgversions which would now break "X.Y+".

  * debian/backport-ppa: Fix syntax error.
  * PgCommon.pm: Drop unconditional import of Socket::IN6ADDR_ANY and only do

  * debian/control: Add myself to Uploaders.
  * debian/postgresql-common.lintian-overrides: Remove unused
    binary-without-manpage overrides (files were moved to
    postgresql-client-common package).
  * debian/rules: Catch errors in for loops.
  * pg_wrapper: Avoid Perl warnings if psql is linked against libreadline
    instead of libedit, even though that is not standard anymore.
  * testsuite: Reset core limit for pg_ctl tests.
  * testsuite: Allow running individual tests by passing them on the
    command line.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * pg_ctlcluster: Do not remove the PID file after SIGKILLing the
    postmaster in the "last-ditch effort to shut down" in --force mode. This
    is a potentially dangerous thing to do when trying to start a second
    postmaster in parallel while the first one is still being shut down.

  * debian/README.Devel: Update for moved packaging branches.
  * debian/backport-ppa: Disable dpkg 1.16.2 build dependency for natty as

  * debian/tests/system: Run testsuite under en_US.UTF-8, as autopkgtests sets
    it to C by default.
  * t/180_ecpg.t: Ensure that test.pgc is readable for nobody.
  * debian/tests/system: Run the packaged tests instead of the ones in the
    local build tree.
  * debian/tests/system: Unset $TMPDIR so that 'postgres' and 'nobody' do not
    fall over the autopkgtest provided $TMPDIR which is not world writable.
  * t/030_errors.t: Fix nonzero exit code which caused stderr output.

    - t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Add full configuration for 9.1 to test the
      configuration update to 9.2.
    - pg_upgradecluster: On upgrades to 9.2, deprecate the 'wal_sender_delay',
      'silent_mode', and 'custom_variable_classes' postgresql.conf options, as
      they do not exist any more.
    - pg_upgradecluster: In the tablespace test, don't query the "spclocation"
      column, which does not exist any more in 9.2. Just check whether we have
      any table space other than the two default ones.
    - t/050_encodings.t: Adjust expected "invalid UTF-8" error to also match
      the 9.2 format.
    - t/170_extensions.t: Adjust the "hstore" exfail to only apply to 9.1.
      9.2's version works without a warning.

  * Add debian/backport-ppa: Script to generate and upload backport packages
    to my Ubuntu PPA. Only for personal use.
  * Add t/160_alternate_confroot.t: Test creation, operation, upgrading, and
    removal of clusters as user nobody using $PG_CLUSTER_CONF_ROOT. This
    reproduces LP#835630 and other bugs.
  * PgCommon.pm: If $PG_CLUSTER_CONF_ROOT is set, untaint it.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Don't hardcode /etc/postgresql/, use
    $PgCommon::confroot to respect $PG_CLUSTER_CONF_ROOT. (LP: #835630)
  * pg_upgradecluster: Add --logfile option to specify a custom log file for
    the upgraded cluster. Necessary if you want to run this on
    per-user clusters and can't write into /var/log/postgresql/.
  * pg_ctlcluster: When starting as root for >= 9.1, adjust the OOM killer
    protection to -16, so that the postmaster does not get OOM-killed so
    easily (as it appears to claim all the shared memory). 9.1.1-3 and later
    resets oomadj of child processes to 0, so that the client backends can
    still get OOM-killed. Add tests to t/020_create_sql_remove.t.
    (LP: #854590)
  * debian/control: Add Breaks: to postgresql-9.1 versios before 9.1.1-3, as
    they do not reset oomadj for child processes. This is a precaution to
    avoid running all the client backends with -16 as well.
  * Add t/170_extensions.t: Check that all shipped extensions install and
    remove.
  * Add t/180_ecpg.t: Check that ecpg works. In t/001_packages.t, check that
    libecpg-dev is installed.

  * pg_ctlcluster: Use PgCommon::check_pidfile_running and drop duplicated
    code.
  * pg_wrapper: The previous multiarch globbing was wrong, as it looked for
    the architecture in uname() (which doesn't work on i386, where uname says
    i686). Now get the multiarch library path from whereever psql expects
    libedit.so to be, so that this even works if you install postgresql-client

    regression for people that it affects.
  * t/001_packages.t: Check that the -plpython3 package is installed for
    >= 9.1.
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Check that the "plpython3u" language works.
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: More thoroughly check PL/Perl and PL/PerlU.
  * PgCommon.pm, cluster_info(): If we have a PID file and can read it (i. e.
    as root), prefer doing this over probing the port. This delivers the
    correct result with e. g. "pg_ctlcluster restart" when the port got
    changed in the configuration file. (Closes: #643850)
  * pg_wrapper: Drop dpkg-architecture call; we don't want to introduce a
    dependency to dpkg-dev, and DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH also isn't available in
    backports. Just extend the libreadline.so globbing to cover multiarch
    paths as well. (Closes: #644078)
  * t/070_non_postgres_clusters.t: Test pg_upgradecluster. This reproduces
    #644477.

  * pg_wrapper: Find libreadline in multiarch directory, too.
    (Closes: #640520)
  * debian/rules: logrotate 3.8.0 requires specifying the "su" option, which
    is not backportable. Dynamically check the available logrotate version,
    and add it if it is >= 3.8. Also dynamically generate a dependency or
    breaks to logrorate 3.8+. (Closes: #640493)
  * PgCommon.pm: Allow '@' characters in LC_CTYPE/LC_COLLATE values. Thanks to
    Willi Mann for the patch. (Closes: #640031)
  * pg_upgradecluster: Print message for running the upgrade.d scripts, thanks
    Karsten Hilbert.
  * t/040_upgrade.t: Add test case for a database with read only default
    transactions. Reproduces #599085.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Set superuser configuration value of
    'default_transaction_read_only' to 'off' during the upgrade, so that
    upgrading databases with read only default transactions actually works.
    Thanks Karsten Hilbert for the suggestion. (Closes: #599085)

    Standards-Version to 7.
  * debian/control, debian/rules: Build the versionless metapackages from this
    source instead of the current postgresql-X.Y source. This behaves better
    with backports. Thanks to Christoph Berg for the suggestion.
  * debian/postgresql-common.lintian-overrides: Don't complain about missing
    manpage for pg_config, it's shipped by libpq-dev.
  * debian/control: Update description of the metapackages to actually say
    "metapackage" to quiesce lintian.
  * Split POD of pg_buildext into pg_buildext.pod, and update debian/rules to
    build the manpage from there. Fixes lintian "shell syntax failure"

  * debian/supported-versions: Switch to 9.1 as default and testing/unstable
    supported version. This will also cause -server-dev-all to only pull in
    -9.1.
  * PgCommon.pm: Partially revert changes for #606336: postmaster does not
    clean up the PID file when it stops, and it is not world readable, so only
    its absence is a definitive result. If the PID file is present, do the

  * debian/postgresql-common.postgresql.init: Fix "status" command when some

  * PgCommon.pm: Make {read,set,disable,replace}_conf_value() case
    independent for *.conf files, as per upstream specification. Add

  * PgCommon.pm: Make {read,set,disable,replace}_conf_value() accept "key

    specification. Add appropriate test cases to t/005_PgCommon.t. Thanks
    to Frederic Junod for the original patch suggestion. (Closes: #618583)
  * PgCommon.pm, cluster_info(): If postgresql.conf defines an external PID
    file, check its existence for determining if a cluster is running, instead
    of poking the port. This is more efficient, and also gives correct results
    for overlapping port numbers. Based on a patch from Jens Wilke, thanks!

    so this broke upgrades to 8.4. (Closes: #627227)
  * pg_upgradecluster: Drop all unversioned configuration option transitions,
    which were still from the 7.4 → 8.0 days. These are obsolete, and
    versions >= 96 only support clusters >= 8.1 anyway. In some cases they
    actively break stuff, like inadvertently setting log_statement=all.

      script. With that, we can run newer common versions with older server
      packages.

      from "prerm upgrade"), and start cluster in configure_version() if there

    - pg_upgradecluster: Migrate obsolete/changed configuration parameters.
  * pg_wrapper: Fix spelling.
  * In maintainer scripts, instead of "#!/bin/sh -e" use a separate "set -e",
    per lintian.
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4; no changes necessary.

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * cleanpg: Do not remove the /var/log/postgresql/ directory itself, only its
    contents, to avoid logcheck falling over.
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Do not consider $PG_GRANDPARENT_PID an unsafe
    environment, it's set by 9.0 servers.
  * t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Add a full configuration for 8.4, so that
    upgrades to 9.0 can be tested.
  * t/052_upgrade_encodings.t: Specify 'C' locale when creating the ASCII
    encoded test database for versions >= 8.4, otherwise we have a
    locale/encoding mismatch.
  * t/TestLib.pm: Abort tests on FAILURE=shell and the shell exits with
    nonzero. This avoids endless followup error shells once it's clear that
    the following ones are doomed anyway.
  * PgCommon.pm: Add new function get_db_locales() which reads lc_ctype and
    lc_locales for a particular database. This replaces the
    get_cluster_locales() function for >= 8.4 server versions (which moved
    from global to per-database locales).
  * pg_upgradecluster: Use get_db_locales() instead of get_cluster_locales()
    for upgrades from >= 8.4.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Drop check for valid locales. We can only determine them
    (using pg_controldata through get_cluster_locales()) for <= 8.3 clusters,
    which are obsolete in sid/lenny. For >= 8.4 clusters, we need to start the
    server to find out the locales, at which point the check is pointless.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Run pg_restore with --disable-triggers when running in
    --data-only mode. (Closes: #579768)
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: We now assume that /var/log/postgresql/ always
    exists, and is writable by the "postgres" user. Thus if we delete the log,
    running "pg_ctlcluster start" should be able to recreate it. This fixes
    the 020_create_sql_remove.t test failure in "umask 077" mode, and uncovers
    some more inconsistencies wrt. log directory permissions.
  * pg_createcluster, testsuite: Fix permissions of /var/log/postgresql/ if
    this script creates it.

  * t/TestLib.pm, check_clean(): Require that /var/log/postgresql/ still
    exists. If we remove it entirely, current versions of logcheck complain
    loudly. This was already fixed a while ago in squeeze, this will ensure it
    stays so. (Closes: #576180)
  * t/040_upgrade.t: Check upgrade of database and table ACL, an ALTER

    reproduces #543506.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Rework logic to use "pg_dumpall -s" instead of
    "pg_dumpall -g", to also catch ACLs, global settings, and the like. Drop
    manual database creation and encoding special-cases, since those are being
    taken care of by the -s commands already. (Closes: #543506, #562676)
  * pg_upgradecluster: Re-enable connections after the upgrade is done, not in
    between.

    the original file. Thanks to Yann Dirson for the original patch.
    (Closes: #549206)
  * pg_createcluster: Change effective gid as well when setting the socket
    directory, to avoid moving postgresql.conf's group to root (which would
    happen with the previous change).
  * Add t/042_upgrade_tablespaces.t: Test upgrading a cluster with
    tablespaces. Since this is not currently supported (and hard to do in an
    automated fashion due to the nature of tablespaces), just check that this
    errors out with a sane message and does not do any damage.

  * Update Russian debconf translations, thanks Sergey Alyoshin!
    (Closes: #491420)
  * PgCommon.pm, change_ugid(): Use /usr/bin/id instead of manual parsing with
    getgrent(), which is reportedly magnitudes faster for environments with
    a large number of groups in remote databases. Thanks to Rodrigo Gallardo!
    (Closes: #491136)
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Update root.crt header comment for
    PostgreSQL 8.3. (Closes: #491276)
  * pg_ctlcluster: Fix typo in pg_ctl error messages. Thanks to Aaron Schrab!
    (Closes: #488280)
  * pg_createcluster, pg_ctlcluster: Set the log file group to "adm" if
    the cluster is owned by a system user (like "postgres"). In the "owned by
    human user" case, keep it as that user's primary group. Check both cases in
    the test suite. (Closes: #483017)
  * t/TestLib.pm: Return "1" at the end, to avoid "TestLib.pm did not return a
    true value" error on import.

  * t/030_errors.t: Add various test cases for stopping stopped clusters with
    stale or corrupt PID files, with and without --force. This reproduces
    #473879.
  * pg_ctlcluster: On stop, clean up stale/corrupt PID files if the server is
    not running. Also fix a taint error and simplify the code a bit.
    (Closes: #473879)
  * t/030_errors.t: Test graceful handling of absent /var/lib/postgresql.
    (Reproduces LP #210322). Adapt 020_create_sql_remove.t accordingly.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Check early whether the data directory exists and is
    accessible, to avoid lots of Perl warning clutter. (LP: #210322)
  * pg_createcluster POD: Clarify what "integrating existing cluster data
    directory" means: configuration files must already be present, we cannot
    create them out of thin air. (Closes: #475954)
  * pg_maintenance: Sort versions for predictable output (looks nicer and
    unbreaks the test suite).

postgresql-common (87) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Urgency medium since #472930 is an important bug fix.
  * debian/init.d-functions: If there are no clusters, exit with 4 (LSB-code
    for "unknown status") instead of 0 (which means "service is running", but
    it is debatable and confusing whether all clusters are running if there
    are none at all). (LP: #203966)
  * Update Spanish debconf translations, thanks Javier Fernández-Sanguino
    Peña. (Closes: #473405)
  * t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Run upgrades under
    default_transaction_read_only=on. t/040_upgrade.t still uses the default
    "off", so both cases get tested. This replicates the problem report from
    Karsten Hilbert.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Work with default_transaction_read_only=on.
  * debian/autovacuum.conf, architecture.html: Point out that this file is
    only relevant for PostgreSQL versions earlier than 8.1. Thanks to Ross
    Boylan for pointing this out.
  * Add t/051_inconsistent_encoding_upgrade.t: Check that upgrades from
    pre-8.3 to 8.3 succeed and have correct encodings if the old DB had a
    database whose encoding did not match the server locale. This reproduces
    #472930.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Fix handling of database encodings on upgrade, since
    8.3 now forces DB encodings and server locale to match:
    - With C locale, keep encoding of DBs on upgrade, just as in previous
      versions. (C is compatible with all encodings, and causes lots of string
      functions not to work correctly, but people still use it deliberately.)
    - With other  locales, create the target DB manually with a compatible
      encoding, and call pg_restore in a way to not create the target DB and
      automatically convert encoding.
    - Closes: #472930, LP: #207779

  * t/090_multicluster.t: Remove test case for nonexisting PGSERVICE value,
    since this is not reliably reported in psql.

  * debian/supported-versions: Drop 8.1 from fallback set of supported
    versions.
  * debian/postgresql-common.config: Add check for forcing the obsoletion
    notifications when upgrading over a particular version. This provides the
    notification when upgrading from Etch to Lenny, and when obsoleting a
    major version within unstable.
  * debian/supported-versions: Drop support for 8.2 in unstable, 8.3 is the
    version du jour.
  * debian/supported-versions: Drop Ubuntu 5.10, fix a typo in the versions
    for Ubuntu 6.06.

postgresql-common (80) unstable; urgency=low

  * pg_upgradecluster: Fix locale error checking.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Use cluster_exists() instead of
    cluster_data_directory().
  * PgCommon.pm: Fix cluster_data_directory() to consider the data_directory
    setting in postgresql.conf, which should trump the /pgdata symbolic link.
  * debian/init.d-functions: Check for 'postgresql.conf' instead of 'pgdata'
    in the test for a valid cluster configuration directory, since 'pgdata' is
    optional now.
  * pg_createcluster: Do not create pgdata symlinks to the data directory in
    /etc any more when configuring a >= 8.0 cluster. Use the data_directory
    configuration option instead. (Part of #444689)
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Check that clusters still work when replacing
    the data_directory setting with a pgdata symbolic link, and that
    the data_directory setting trumps the symlink.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Set correct data_directory config option after copying
    over the old configuration files.
  * t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Restore data_directory setting after
    scribbling over the configuration file with our template.
  * PgCommon.pm, cluster_info(): Only return a value for 'logfile' when it is
    not explicitly configured with log_directory and/or log_filename. The
    previous guessing was wrong anyway, since PostgreSQL always appends a
    pretty unpredictable timestamp.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Only do log file checks and pass pg_ctl -l option when the
    log file default is used. Otherwise let PostgreSQL do its logfile handling
    and waive log file checks, since we don't know which file is used.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Redirect pg_ctl's stdout and stderr to /dev/null, otherwise
    it will hang forever when using a custom log file (and thus not passing
    -l).
  * pg_lsclusters: Print "custom" as log file location if a custom one was set
    in postgresql.conf.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Enable 'redirect_stderr' in the 7.4 -> 8.x migration of
    'syslog' -> 'log_destination', so that the log output is actually
    complete.
  * t/060_obsolete_confparams.t: Enable 'redirect_stderr' in the template
    postgresql.conf's, so that we actually capture log output.
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Check proper handling of logs when configuring
    log file in postgresql.conf, using the log symlink, or having neither.
  * PgCommon.pm, cluster_info(): Return default log file in 'logfile' if
    neither postgresql.conf nor a 'log' symlink explicitly specify a log file.
  * pg_createcluster: Do not create log symlink if using the default log file
    (i. e. when not using -l). (Closes: #444689)
  * t/020_create_sql_remove.t: Verify that log symlink is not created by
    default.
  * architecture.html: Update to current reality.
  * debian/postgresql-common.config: Do not consider versions as obsolete if
    they are newer than the latest officially supported version. This avoids
    confusion when testing new betas in experimental or using backports.
    (Closes: #446635)
  * t/TestLib.pm: Make exec_as() work with user name 'root' (not just uid 0).
  * Add t/130_nonroot_admin.t: Check that administrative pg_ tools work as
    non-root, too, if the invoker has sufficient permissions on the
    directories (test case for LP #90036).
  * pg_{create,drop,upgrade}cluster: Small tweaks to make the scripts work for
    non-root users with sufficient write permissions to
    /etc/postgresql/<version>, /var/lib/postgresql/<version>, and
    /var/log/postgresql. (LP: #90036)

  * t/050_encodings.t: 8.3 onwards refuses to create a cluster with an
    inconsistent locale/encoding combination. Just drop the test case, it does

  * t/090_multicluster.t: Do not rely on output of createdb, call it with -q.
    8.3 behaves differently here.

  * Add debian/postgresql-client-common.lintian: Lintian overrides for 'binary

  *t/040_upgrade.t: Skip the user/group name clash test when there are only
   servers >= 8.1 installed, since it does not apply to them and breaks the

  * t/040_upgrade.t: Check that the upgraded cluster still works after
    removing the old one, to check for stale paths of configuration files.
  * pg_upgradecluster: Adapt path to configuration files in the target
    cluster, so that they do not refer to the files of the old cluster. (This
    fixes an upgrade regression introduced in version 62).

    - Do not use -c for pg_dumpall, since the target roles should not yet
      exist anyway.
    - Filter out the 'CREATE (ROLE|USER)' command for the db superuser, since

    nonfatal, but look ugly:)
    - Drop 'postgres' db in 8.1+ target cluster if the source cluster already
      has it.
    - Do not use pg_restore's --create for template1.

    options:
    - preload_libraries -> shared_preload_libraries
    - australian_timezones -> timezone_abbreviations
  * pg_ctlcluster: Instead of parsing pg_hba.conf, just try to connect with
    setting PGPASSWORD to a bogus value, and check for authentication errors.
    This is more robust and more elegant, and also covers nonstandard
    authentication schemes correctly. Closes: #388419
  * debian/supported-versions: Recklessly consider 8.2 as supported to avoid
    whining if 8.2 package gets backported.

      /var/run/postgresql.
    - Thanks to Bastian Kleineidam for the suggestions.

    the default port.
  * pg_wrapper: Print proper error message if no cluster is suitable as
    default target and point to man pg_wrapper.
  * pg_upgradecluster:
    - Support /etc/postgresql-common/pg_upgradecluster.d/ hook scripts. These
      are called after creating the virgin new version cluster (phase 'init')
      and a second time after the upgrade is complete (phase 'finish').
      PostgreSQL extensions like PostGIS can use these hooks to initialize
      metadata which must not be upgraded from the old cluster, but
      initialized from scratch. Closes: #351571
    - Document this feature in the manpage POD.
    - If upgrade scripts are present, call pg_restore with the new -X
      no-data-for-failed-tables option to not clutter already existing tables
      in the new cluster with data from the old cluster. Abort with an error
      if the installed pg_restore does not support this option.
    - debian/postgresql-common.dirs: Ship
      /etc/postgresql-common/pg_upgradecluster.d/.
  * Add t/120_pg_upgradecluster_scripts.t: Selftest for pg_upgradecluster.d
    hooks and proper pg_restore -X no-data-for-failed-tables behaviour.

postgresql-common (20) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add infrastructure for executing SQL or executable scripts on clusters and
    databases on upgrade. This can be useful to apply security updates which
    need to change database layouts (like for CAN-2005-1409), do checks on
    upgrades, and maybe other things.
    - Add run-upgrade-scripts and call it in the postinst.
    - Add /usr/share/postgresql-common/upgrade-scripts/ where scripts are
      stored into.
    - Add /usr/share/postgresql-common/upgrade-scripts/SPECIFICATION.
    - This checks for available databases, thus will not fail on a nonexisting
      template0. Closes: #312707
    - Tests are run right after starting all clusters. Also, the package
      installation does not fail if the upgrade fails on a single cluster or
      database. Closes: #308685
  * pg_ctlcluster: pg_ctl's -o option is not cumulative, fix postmaster
    argument passing. This ensures that "-c unix_socket_directory" is always
    passed to the postmaster.
  * pg_createcluster: Do not configure a cluster for SSL if the owner is not
    the owner of /etc/postgresql-common/postgresql.pem. This fixes cluster
    creation for non-postgres owners.
  * Add test 130_nonpostgres_clusters: Check cluster creation and operation
    for a cluster owned by "nobody".
  * Add upgrade-scripts/all_vacuum_t1.sql: Upgrade script that will just
    vacuum all available databases. This is pretty useful and harmless, and is
    a good thing to test upgrade scripts at a larger scale.
  * init.d-functions: Rename autovac-* to autovac_* to comply to POSIX shell
    identifier rules. Closes: #315551

postgresql-common (19) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Generate an SSL certificate and key if
    it doesn't exist yet and openssl is installed. Closes: #212526
  * debian/control: Recommend openssl and explain its purpose.
  * pg_createcluster: If SSL certificate and key exist, symlink it to the
    cluster directory where the postmaster looks for them and enable SSL in
    the configuration.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Only restart servers when configuring.
  * debian/init.d-functions: "pg_ctl restart" does not seem to re-read certain
    configuration parameters like the socket directory, so replace it with
    stop+start.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Create /var/run/postgresql before
    creating the initial cluster to ensure that the socket directory will be
    present. Closes: #312899
  * Added debian/postgresql-common.postrm: Clean up on purge.
  * debian/postgresql-common.postinst: Check whether the user postgres exists
    before calling adduser to avoid confusing warning messages.

postgresql-common (18) unstable; urgency=low

  * pg_ctlcluster: Change directory to /var/lib/postgresql to avoid error
    messages when doing an operation in a directory which the database owner
    cannot access.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Pass the default socket directory to the postmaster,
    otherwise it will always be /tmp if unix_socket_directory is not specified
    in postgresql.conf. Closes: #314537
  * Added tests/041_server_default_socketdir: Check that the socket is created
    in /var/run/postgresql if unix_socket_directory is not specified.
  * pg_ctlcluster:
    - On startup, check for a stale or invalid PID file and remove it if
      appropriate.
    - On stop, bail out on an invalid PID file. Closes: #304466.
  * Added tests/021_invalid_pidfile: Corrupt the pid file in various ways
    while the server is running and down. Also check double start/stop.

postgresql-common (17) unstable; urgency=low

  * PgCommon.pm, cluster_port_running(): Attempt to connect() to the server
    socket for probing if the server is running. The previous method of using
    'psql -l' asked for a password if md5/password authentication is used
    locally. Closes: #314292
  * testsuite: Ignore whitespace changes in expected vs. actual output.
  * tests/100_encodings: Fix race condition when showing postmaster processes:
    If we catch the postmaster right at fork() time, ps shows two postmaster
    instances instead of one. Filter them away to get the expected output.

    produces nicer configuration files with transitioned parameters.
  * Add test 120_obsolete_confparams: Upgrade a 7.4 cluster with all
    possible 7.4 options enabled.
  * PgCommon.pm: Fix parsing of autovacuum parameters.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Respect the avac_debug autovacuum configuration option.
  * pg_createcluster: Since the new default socket directory is
    /var/run/postgresql, explicitly set /tmp as socket directory for clusters
    if /var/run/postgresql is not writable by the cluster owner.
  * PgCommon.pm, get_cluster_socketdir(): If unix_socket_directory is not
    specified explicitly in postgresql.conf, default to /var/run/postgresql
    for postgres-owned clusters. Closes: #313651
  * pg_ctlcluster: Do not sleep at all after starting the postmaster if we
    don't run the autovacuum daemon; sleep for a full second if we do.

    than 8.0 to get the same behaviour as for 8.0.
  * debian/control: Conflict to postgresql-7.4 << 1:7.4.8-5 since earlier
    versions do not support non-ASCII encodings (due to missing pg_encoding).
  * pg_ctlcluster: Check that the cluster owner uid/gid really exist.
    Closes: #311546
  * pg_lsclusters: Ensure that there is at least one space between the colums.

    really useful.
  * PgCommon: Fix cluster_info for avac_logfile to make pg_dropcluster clean
    away the autovacuum log file.
  * pg_maintenance: -v only influences vacuumdb output now, always show

  * Added pg_maintenance(8) program.
  * Activated formerly disabled postgresql-common.cron.d which calls
    pg_maintenance.
  * pg_createcluster: Default to cluster owner 'postgres' if no owner is
    specified.
  * pg_ctlcluster: Fix pg_controldata output parsing and call pg_controldata
    under locale 'C' to work with all locales. Closes: #310716

    debugging).
  * PgCommon.pm, user_cluster_map(): If several clusters exist, but no
    mapping is configured, return not only the default port's cluster version,

    case.
  * debian/rules: Fix clean target to remove the manpages created from POD
    again.
