Package name : dbconfig-common Version : 0.7 Upstream Author : sean finney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> URL : http://people.debian.org/~seanius/policy/dbconfig-common.html License : BSD Description : common framework for packaging database applications dbconfig-common is an implementation of the "best practices for database applications" (http://people.debian.org/~seanius/policy/dbapp-policy.html) draft, which provides debian packagers with an easy, reliable, and consistant method for managing databases used by debian packages. dbconfig-common can: * create databases and database users * access local or remote databases * upgrade/modify databases when upstream changes database structure * remove databases and database users * prompt users with a set of normalized, pre-translated questions * do all the hard work automatically * work for package maintainers with little effort on their part * work for local admins with little effort on their part * comply with an agreed upon set of standards for behaviour * do absolutely nothing if it is the whim of the local admin * reconfigure the database of a package via dpkg-reconfigure currently, only support exists for mysql databases, but i'm now working on integrating postgresql support too. i've started an alioth project if anyone is interested in helping out. sean - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBrqg9ynjLPm522B0RAhd/AJ0cuCr3am3D0TUu6m5V5OCa8ZvaDgCdGs1p 2baq0syNN63jQTDirt15NmE= =zhGO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
