hey folks,

i've uploaded 0.9 to experimental, after getting to make the few
documentation updates.

i've already got quite a bit of work for the next version (1.1),
which will tackle a bunch of the stuff from the TODO list (marked
with +'s below):

- database support
  - mysql
    - installation
      + does not honor alternate port setting (requires hacking wwwconfig)
      + does not honor ssl setting (ditto)
      + removing user issues
  - pgsql
    - installation
      + haven't verified that it works on remote hosts
      + haven't verified that the script method works
      - support the various forms of pgsql authentication
    - upgrading
      + haven't verified that the script method works

- translations
  - still need to stabilize (primarily pgsql) templates
  - still need to find volunteers

- general
  - some debconf responses could be shared globally
  - oliver elphick's suggestion of storing previously used configurations

- dbconfig-generate-include
  - has no way for getting passwords not in the config file
  - stabilize the cmdline interface
  - man page
    =20
- security related
  + don't send passwords on the cmdline (requires hacking/replacing wwwconf=
ig)

additionally, the variable namespace will be more normalized, and 1.1
will no longer depend on wwwconfig-common, as i've largely rewritten
the code and imported it to this package.
