+this is the general state of things. below is a list of either unfinished

- bugs
- - the "back" functionality doesn't quite work
+ - i suspect the "back" functionality doesn't quite work
- database support
- general
- some kind of support for multi-db applications
+ - provide a normal-user-accessible script for setting up databases
+ (for running out of public_html type directories etc).
- support for other database types (sqlite, others?)
- general
+ - think about how this should tie in with the webapps-common.
+ - begin discussion on having the "best-practices" document incorporated
+ in some form as debian policy.
- how we handle admin passwords should differ based on remote/local.
- - a "try again" functionality for install failures.
- ask if the user is to be completely deleted or only have privileges
revoked in mysql. this is the default in pgsql, but in pgsql the drop
will fail if the user owns other databases (not so in mysql).
+ - support for other package formats, such as rpm.
+ - should we still depend on debconf or extract the debconf questions
+ manually?
- unresolved issues
- mysql does not support ssl for the time being (see bug #291945)

dbconfig-common presents a policy and implementation for
managing various databases used by applications included in
debian packages.
+ .
+ dbconfig-common can:
+ * support mysql and postgresql applications
+ * create databases and database users
+ * access local or remote databases
+ * upgrade/modify databases when upstream changes database structure
+ * remove databases and database users
+ * generate config files in many formats with the database info
+ * import configs from packages previously managing databases on their own
+ * prompt users with a set of normalized, pre-translated questions
+ * handle failures gracefully, with an option to retry.
+ * do all the hard work automatically
+ * work for package maintainers with little effort on their part
+ * work for local admins with little effort on their part
+ * comply with an agreed upon set of standards for behaviour
+ * do absolutely nothing if it is the whim of the local admin
+ * perform all operations from within the standard flow of debian
+ package maintenance (no additional skill is required of the local
+ admin)
