<div>Package: couchdb</div><div><div>Version: 0.11.0-1</div><div>Severity: normal</div><div>Tags: squeeze</div><div><br></div><div>README.Debian says "the database directory is partitioned by the CouchDB</div><div>release number of the database format in use" and "Before you upgrade to a new</div>
<div>version [...] you should export [...] and import the data into the new</div><div>database after the upgrade". </div><div><br></div><div>This is quite awkward: no prior warning when upgrading, and the old binaries aren't</div>
<div>here anymore after the upgrade is done.</div><div><br></div><div>A quick, short-term minimal fix would be warning the user about the need for</div><div>data migration, offering to abort the upgrade, and pointing to the dump/load</div>
<div>procedure or tools. In the long run, the dump/load operations should probably</div><div>be automated by the package.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>-- System Information:</div><div>Debian Release: squeeze/sid</div>
