The following branch contains some initial work: http://code.phraktured.net/cgit.cgi/dbscripts/log/?h=working * Merged Daniel's patch * Removed the testing2* scripts * Added package pool support to db-update The rest of the scripts still need support for the whole pooling thing, but here's a starting point. Please critique, it's not all that much: http://code.phraktured.net/cgit.cgi/dbscripts/commit/?h=working&id=5dc5fc0dff1632f834ac11d3bfcef87a512b1096 db-move and db-remove need adjusting, and then the cleanup scripts.
