Another update: so I went again and split /usr/share/couchdb out into a new `couchdb-common` package, as that wasn't much work and makes sense considering how large the data and docs in there have become.
I have builds for Raring and Saucy in the Novacut Daily PPA: https://launchpad.net/~novacut/+archive/daily And here's my current changelog: couchdb (1.4.0~rc.1-0ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low * New upstream release (LP: #1022515) * Switch from CDBS to pure debhelper (compat 9) * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4 * Use an Upstart job instead of the upstream SysV init.d script * Remove Build-Depends: cdbs, libreadline-dev * Add Build-Depends: erlang-os-mon, erlang-syntax-tools, python-sphinx, texlive-latex-base, texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-latex-extra, texlive-fonts-recommended, texinfo * Remove couchdb-bin Depends: procps, lsb-base (needed for SysV init.d script) * Remove couchdb-bin Depends: libjs-jquery (1.7.2 is in Saucy, but the internal CouchDB jquery is now at version 1.8.3) * Simplify Erlang couchdb-bin Depends to just ${erlang-abi:Depends}, ${erlang:Depends} * Add couchdb Depends: upstart * Remove deprecated couchdb-bin.postinst, couchdb-bin.postrm * Thanks to the Upstart job, couchdb.postrm no longer needs `sleep 3` hack, nor needs to `rm -r -f "/var/run/couchdb"` * Stop using versioned database_dir /var/lib/couchdb/VERSION as this isn't done upstream and CouchDB is no longer considered alpha software * Remove README.Debian, README.source as they're no longer applicable * Drop patches superseded upstream for CVE-2012-5649, CVE-2012-5650: - improve_parsing_of_mochiweb_relative_paths.patch - improve_script_url_validation.patch - include_a_comment_before_jsonp_output.patch * Because of the switch to Upstart, drop unneeded SysV init.d script patches: - force-reload.patch - couchdb_own_rundir.patch - wait_for_couchdb_stop.patch * Drop couchdb_sighup.patch, superseded upstream * Drop logrotate_as_couchdb.patch as it doesn't make sense for the CouchDB daemon to be able to modify its own archived log files * Move static data and docs in "/usr/share/couchdb" from `couchdb-bin` into new `couchdb-common` Architecture:all package * Add couchdb-bin Depends: couchdb-common (= ${source:Version}) ** CVE added: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi- bin/cvename.cgi?name=2012-5649 ** CVE added: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi- bin/cvename.cgi?name=2012-5650 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1212481 Title: Saucy: CouchDB 1.4.0 needed to work with Erlang 16.b.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/couchdb/+bug/1212481/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
