postgresql TODO
===============

Bugs:
- pg_createcluster with existing cluster: respect symlinks to shared
  postgresql.conf files, never remove symlinks in already existing
  cluster dirs
- Clean up at purging if /etc/ is there without /var, or vice versa

Transition bugs:

Missing selftest:
- --force option for pg_ctlcluster

Important features:

Wishlist:
- Add pg_conf to change startup and possibly other things
- add program for web applications, which configure pg_hba.conf:

  pg_hba add|remove|test [options] yourwebappdb yourwebappuser

  Options:

  --cluster: self-explanatory, defaults to default cluster
  --ip: IP and netmask for host socket; if not given, defaults to Unix
    socket (local)
  --method: defaults to "md5" for TCP connections, and "ident sameuser" for
    Unix socket connections
  --force-ssl: If given, create a "hostssl" entry, otherwise a "host"
    entry

  For remove, only --cluster is allowed; it will remove all hba
  entries that refer to the given db/user pair. test checks whether the
  given connection is allowed; if so, it exits with 0, otherwise it prints the
  required pg_hba.conf line to stdout and exits with 1. If pg_hba.conf has a
  scrambled format that cannot be parsed by pg_*_hba, the scripts exit with 2.

  Add libnet-cidr-perl dependency!
