- we desperately need to overhaul the bootstrapping experience.
The Debian guys are doing interesting work
[http://people.debian.org/~seanius/policy/dbconfig-common.html]
however using this functionality intersects with about 50% of our
current bootstrapper.
I would like to propose this more formally
This is not just a packager's issue, as it would largely replace our own
Python bootstrapping script. [Of course there would be nothing to stop
people from still using that script, but it would likely be left
unmaintained]
Advantages:-
- relieves maintenance of the bootstrapper and Psql.py, including
connecting, making databases, etc..
- debconf, with its various frontends
- Andreas will probably do this anyway.
- does upgrading, which we are yet to tackle.
Disadvantages:
- ties us to Debian, others need to run .sqls manually or use another
script (which already exists for Cygwin, thanks to Syan)
- we need to control the order in which .sqls are run, does
dbconfig-common do this?
- the scripts gmAuditSchemaGenerator.py, et al., need to use debconf to
get the connection parameters. (yes there is a python binding), or
command-line for non-Debian systems, or should we just run them from
postinst?
we would need 4 packages
- gnumed-db-core
- gnumed-db-au & gnumed-db-de, the language extension packs, which
depend on gnumed-db-core.
- gnumed-db-test (which depends on *gnumed-db-de*)
