For regression tests, I'd like to automatically set up a fresh PostgreSQL instance. Has anybody automated the task (initdb, setting a password, choosing a port at random, starting the server, and after running the tests, stopping the server and deleting all the directories)? I know, it's a straightforward Perl script, but perhaps someone else has already written it. 8-) And: $ fakeroot /usr/lib/postgresql/8.1/bin/postgres -D . postgres "root" execution of the PostgreSQL server is not permitted. [...] This is a major problem when autobuilding Debian packages. 8-( -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@xxxxxx> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
