I would assume the first step might be to give postgresql the init_pool.sql file, and somehow configure the programs to use this newly created database? I would also assume that the entire database structure is documented in tagdb.dia? What is meant be a "suite"? Could somebody please povide me with a list of the binary programs in DAK and what each one days? I will start by extracting the comments. Some I can guess, eg. "tea" would be for making a cup of tea, wouldn't it? ;-) Others make no sense. Some binaries have no real purpose, they are only there to see if you can refrain from laughing or not (eg. see description of update-mirrorlists). katie doesn't seem to have a binary? -rwxrwxr-x 1 bam bam 6451 Oct 24 17:39 alyson* Sync the ISC configuartion file and the SQL database What is the ISC configuration? -rwxrwxr-x 1 bam bam 12551 Dec 9 14:24 amber* Wrapper for Debian Security team The Debian security team need to be wrapped by "amber"?
