Dear Pirate, Thanks for doing the update! Indeed, that is a good point. It may be that it is worth keeping it in testing for the time being but not letting it go into the upcoming stable, at least unless all of the security bugs can be fixed (which includes upgrading to 0.6.0.1).

It turns out that the postgres issue was for a different reason: I had initially selected mysql, then tried changing to postgres. But for some reason, which I don't fully understand, lots of the mysql settings were maintained. I don't now remember whether I did a full purge of diaspora-related stuff, but even if I did, there is another bug I've reported relating to the non-purging of dbconfig-common settings. I think that in its current state, the diaspora packages should be kept out of testing/stretch, as they are quite a long way from being usable. There are also a few settings in diaspora.yml which need configuring to the site needs (for example, it should be run in 'production' rather than 'development' mode, and the site URL needs putting in the YAML file, from memory). > > If you're doing a new upload anyway, and it's easy, perhaps you could > > use the latest upstream version (6.2.0 I think it is)? > > It will need updating many dependencies > https://git.fosscommunity.in/debian-ruby/TaskTracker/issues/119 > https://git.fosscommunity.in/debian-ruby/TaskTracker/issues/120 > > If more hands are there to help, we will be able to complete it faster :) Ah, I see. So that will have to wait. I think there was a security update 0.6.0.1, which might be compatible? Best wishes, Julian P.S.

I will try to upload the fix today. I have seen postgres errors related to system locale. If system locale does not support UTF-8, I think postgres installation fails. Can you try to purge postgres* and set system locale to one with UTF-8 support (like en_IN.UTF-8), you'll need to reboot for locale change to reflect.

I made it grave, because package simply will not install: the preinst failed; and as far as I can tell, that counts as a grave bug: Preparing to unpack .../137-diaspora_0.6.0.0+debian-7_all.deb ... psql: FATAL: role "diaspora" does not exist dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: dpkg: warning: version 'diaspora-common' has bad syntax: version number does not start with digit dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-SWG1Sz/137-diaspora_0.6.0.0+debian-7_all.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: dpkg: warning: version 'diaspora-common' has bad syntax: version number does not start with digit dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1 (and I don't know why the postrm failed too). > > Could not find gem 'mysql2 (~> 0.4.4)' in any of the gem sources listed in > > your > > Gemfile or available on this machine. > > Because the diaspora package currently only supports postgresql.

I've purged it and will start again - it will probably be more successful this time! Ah, no, it gave up on diaspora-common, because it's trying to connect with debian-sys-maint to port 3306, which is not where postgresql is connected. And I can't find an obvious way to change it. :-( Julian ___ Pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers mailing list Pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers

This is fixed in ruby-rails-admin, so just update it. If you are interested you can try creating diaspora-mysql in the same way I did diaspora-installer-mysql. 1. Make postgres optional dependency for diaspora (change postgresql -> postgresql | virtual-mysql-server and dbconfig-postgres -> dbconfig-postgres | dbconfig-mysql and ruby-pg | ruby-mysql2) 2. Create new binary package diaspora-mysql whcih depends on dbconfig-mysql, default-mysql-server | virtual-mysql-server, ruby-mysql2 and diaspora. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers mailing list Pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers

Package: diaspora Version: 0.6.0.0+debian-7 Severity: grave In the debian/maintscript file, you have: dir_to_symlink /usr/share/diaspora/config 0.5.9.1+debian3 diaspora-common This is not the correct syntax for the dir_to_symlink command: it should be dir_to_symlink pathname new-target [prior-version [package]] So I guess this line should read: dir_to_symlink /usr/share/diaspora/config /etc/diaspora 0.5.9.1+debian3 diaspora-common With this change, then diaspora installs more successfully. (Well, successfully, except that it couldn't find the gem mysql2 (I've gone for the mysql option.): Could not find gem 'mysql2 (~> 0.4.4)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile or available on this machine. Installing ruby-mysql2 then gave the error: export DB_NAME=diaspora_production RAILS_ENV=production DB=mysql ENVIRONMENT_URL=https://diaspora.d-and-j.net Verifying we have all required libraries... Resolving dependencies... Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "jquery-ui-rails": In Gemfile: jquery-ui-rails (~> 6.0) rails_admin (~> 0.8.1) was resolved to 0.8.1, which depends on jquery-ui-rails (~> 5.0) Oh dear :-( Any suggestions?
