Docs/examples on how to package a PostgreSQL needing app
Hi. I cannot seem to find any packaging guidelines an how to deal with a PostgreSQL database management in a package of a web app requiring a PG DB. More specifically, if usual installation directives mention modifying of pg_hba.conf, how should one translate that into Debian packaging scripts actions ? Is modifying pg_hba.conf in a package's config script via ucf an option ? Is there a better place to ask or learn ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, this looks very cool.
I have a question, from the point of view of a potential
sponsor/mentor.
How can I tell the "status" of each of these packages ? I mean: I
would like to know whether anyone else has already reviewed it, or is
working on it, or has uploaded it to Debian proper. Am I expected to
subscribe to debian-mentors ? The "introductory page for sponsors"
was a bit sparse.
Thanks,
Ian.

The "introductory page for sponsors" > was a bit sparse. The previous ways to check status were: look at NEW or incoming.d.o. look for replies to the ITP bug and or to debian-devel. look for replies to the RFS mail on debian-mentors. debexpo adds this to the above: look for comments on the mentors.d.n website. There never was any guarantee that subscribing to -mentors meant you would know about other reviews. Indeed, it often happens that a package gets uploaded to the archive and the maintainer/sponsor don't even reply to the RFS saying that the package was uploaded. Or the reviews moved to IRC or some team's mailing list. This doesn't change with the new mentors, it just introduces yet another place to look for reviews. Perhaps the comments on the site will become the primary place for feedback, but I doubt it considering Debian's mail-centric culture. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If your application runs on the same host as postgres, there is no need to modify pg_hba.conf as local users will be authenticated with ident - all you need to to is to create the role for them in postgres. If it runs somewhere else, you can't modify the remote pg_hba.conf. To add new databases (and roles) to postgres, look into dbconfig-common. -- Bernd ZeimetzDebian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.dehttp://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I believe you could achieve the same effect using a combination of triggerhappy and the aforementioned rfkill, and I don’t like the idea of having a special daemon running to handle a subset of the special keys when there’s a more general solution to the problem already in the archive. That said, urfkill might have advantages I don’t see. -- Andrea Bolognani Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I wonder, is it possible to add a bit more magic to debexpo, so that the comments made via the Web interface would be forwarded to the list, and vice versa?
