Paul Joseph Davis resolved COUCHDB-44.
--------------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
Fix Version/s: 0.10
Assignee: Paul Joseph Davis
Marking this as duplicate and adding a comment to COUCHDB-67. Once we go to
directory style databases a VERSION file would be simple if we even decide to
got that route. This ticket is quite old so it doesn't take into account the
code that's been written to seamlessly updates databse versions via compaction.
Also, we can't go with a single VERSION file per node because we can
technically have multiple DB file versions per server.

> Packaging CouchDB for Debian would be a lot easier if CouchDB used a VERSION
> file (or similar) in the database directory to indicate which database format
> was in use. With this in place automated installation scripts could warn,
> error or perform upgrades when a conflicting version was about to be
> installed.
