Package: postgresql Version: 7.4.7-1 Severity: wishlist Since I tend to use postgres, I'd like to use the flavor of bacula that works with postgres. Unfortunately, there are a couple of RC bugs against the package, and the maintainer has indicated he needs help.
I can probably get things working on my system, but my knowledge of what assumptions are and are not reasonable to make, where to find configuration setttings, etc, is slight. In other words, with luck I may be able to produce a postinst that works for me, but it probably won't be that great for general use. If you could help, even providing hints, that would be terrific. It may be that the range of possible setups is so great that automatic handling of the general case is unrealistic. Even so, something that worked for the stock Debian setup would be useful; clearly, the sys admin would need a way to bypass it if they had an unusual setup. Some issues that occur to me: The current script asks for an admin password, but I don't think the default postgres setup has one (access controlled via unix postgres account). Is there a standard place to get info on database location, superuser identity, etc? What user should bacula keep its data under (bacula? backup?). These are undoubtedly addressed in docs somewhere (and the scripts provided have an implicit answer to the last question at least). -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27advncdfs Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages postgresql depends on: ii adduser 3.59 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.35-6 The Common Error Description libra ii libkrb53 1.3.6-1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libperl5.8 5.8.4-6 Shared Perl library ii libpq3 7.4.7-1 PostgreSQL C client library ii libreadline4 4.3-11 GNU readline and history libraries ii libssl0.9.7 0.9.7e-2 SSL shared libraries ii mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20040524cvs-4 A simple mail user agent ii postgresql-clien 7.4.7-1 front-end programs for PostgreSQL ii procps 1:3.2.1-2 The /proc file system utilities ii python2.3 2.3.4-19 An interactive high-level object-o ii ucf 1.13 Update Configuration File: preserv ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-3 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: postgresql/upgrade/preserve_location: /var/lib/postgres/preserve * postgresql/settings/day_month_order: European postgresql/convert-postmaster.init: true * postgresql/upgrade/policy: false postgresql/enable_lang: true postgresql/contains_POSTGRESHOME: true postgresql/very_old_version_warning: true postgresql/upgrade/dump_location: /var/lib/postgres postgresql/convert-pg_hba.conf: true * postgresql/initdb/location: /var/lib/postgres/data * postgresql/settings/locale: C postgresql/peer-to-ident: true postgresql/missing_conf: true * postgresql/purge_data_too: true * postgresql/settings/encoding: per_locale * postgresql/settings/date_style: ISO -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
