[Bug 1022515] Re: Please sync (sort of) couchdb 1.2.0-1 from Debian unstable

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package couchdb - 1.2.0-2ubuntu1

---------------
couchdb (1.2.0-2ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1022515, LP: #817656):
    - fixes ownership of /etc/couchdb.  LP: #731272.
  * Remaining changes:
    - Use pkg-config instead of the js-config script shipped by libmozjs
    - debian/rules, debian/control: split couchdb and couchdb-bin
    - debian/postinst: renamed to couchdb-bin.postinst
    - debian/couchdb-bin.postrm: don't try to delete couchdb system
      user/group
  * Dropped changes, superseded upstream:
    - Backport svn r1039345 from 1.0.3
    - debian/patches/couchio-*: patchset from CouchIO to fix U1 replication
      over SSL.  It's not clear if these were upstreamed, but most of the
      source files they applied to no longer exist at all upstream, so if
      these are still needed they will need to be redone.
    - debian/patches/fix-help2man.patch: dropped, no longer needed
    - debian/patches/jquery15-fix.patch: Make Futon work with jQuery 1.5
    - debian/patches/moz*.patch: Spidermonkey 1.8.54 patchset
  * Dropped changes, included in Debian:
    - debian/control - bump standards version
    - debian/control - fix lintian error not-binnmuable-all-depends-any
    - Build against a proper libmozjs
    - Update build-depends/depends/build config (we no longer need the
      --with-js build flags)
  * Dropped changes, superseded in Debian:
    - source/format - mark package as 1.0 format
    - change the default permissions on /etc/couchdb to 0775 and files to
      0664

  [ Jason Gerard DeRose ]
  * /etc/couchdb/default.ini and /etc/couchdb/default.d are delivered in the
    `couchdb-bin` package and are owned by root
  * /etc/couchdb/local.ini and /etc/couchdb/local.d are delivered in the
  * The `couchdb-bin` package does not create nor require the "couchdb" user
    (this is now done in the `couchdb` package instead).  LP: #1007125.
  * Added a short sleep delay in couchdb.postrm so couchdb is more likely to
    have actually terminated by the time we `deluser couchdb`, which is needed
    for `sudo apt-get purge couchdb` to work when couchdb is running

Title:
  Please sync (sort of) couchdb 1.2.0-1 from Debian unstable

Status in “couchdb” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'd like to see CouchDB 1.2.0 synced from Debian, but adding in a
  couchdb/couchdb-bin split similar to what was done by the desktopcouch
  folks for the current Ubuntu 1.0.1 package.

  This split is critical for Novacut and Dmedia because otherwise our
  users have an unused system-wide CouchDB running for no reason. We've
  been maintaining our own newer CouchDB packages in our PPA, and I'd
  love to stop doing that.

  For more background, I tried to do something similar for CouchDB 1.1.1
  in Precise, but didn't make it in time:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/couchdb/+bug/903098

  == Current Status ==

  I have a debdiff attached, ready for review, and I have test packages for Precise and Quantal in ppa:novacut/daily:
  https://launchpad.net/~novacut/+archive/daily

  I've found no regressions from the 1.0.1 Ubuntu package. There's still
  one nasty issue (also present in 1.0.1) that I hope to resolve, but
  haven't yet. The issue is you can't stop the daemon immediately after
  installation. For example, this doesn't work:

  sudo apt-get install couchdb
  sudo /etc/init.d/couchdb stop

  But this does work:

  sudo apt-get install couchdb
  <reboot>
  sudo /etc/init.d/couchdb stop

  == What needs further testing ==

  I don't use system-wide CouchDB on a regular basis, so I need help
  testing the `couchdb` side of the split.

  In particular, if there is anyone running the 1.0.1 package in a
  production setting, I need feedback on whether the permission and
  ownership changes I made in /etc/couchdb cause any issues for you
  during/after an upgrade to my 1.2.0 package.

  == debian/changelog ==

  couchdb (1.2.0-1ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

    * Started with branch of 1.2.0-1 from Debian unstable
    * Split into `couchdb-bin` and `couchdb` binary packages as found in Ubuntu,
      with goal of keeping delta between Debian and Ubuntu as low as possible
    * Changes from how the split is done in Ubuntu:
      - /etc/couchdb/default.ini and /etc/couchdb/default.d are delivered in the
        `couchdb-bin` package and are owned by root
      - /etc/couchdb/local.ini and /etc/couchdb/local.d are delivered in the
        `couchdb` package and are owned by the "couchdb" user
      - The `couchdb-bin` package does not create nor require the "couchdb" user
        (this is now done in the `couchdb` package instead)
    * Changes from Debian:
      - After couchdb.postinst runs, only /etc/couchdb/local.ini and
        /etc/couchdb/local.d are owned by the "couchdb" user, while the rest of
        /etc/couchdb remains owned by root
      - Patched /etc/init.d/couchdb so /var/run/couchdb is owned by the "couchdb"
        user, needed for the init.d script to actually work (var-run.patch)
      - Added a short sleep delay in couchdb.postrm so couchdb is more likely to
        have actually terminated by the time we `deluser couchdb`, which is needed
        for `sudo apt-get purge couchdb` to work when couchdb is running
      - Added couchdb-bin.postinst to fix permissions in /etc/couchdb after
        upgrading from the couchdb-bin 1.0.1 package
