jbe@0 2 Setup the database:
jbe@0 3 $ createdb liquid_feedback
jbe@0 4 $ psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -f core.sql liquid_feedback
jbe@0 5
jbe@0 6 Optionally insert demo data:
jbe@0 7 $ psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -f demo.sql liquid_feedback
jbe@0 8
jbe@0 9 Compile lf_update binary:
jbe@0 10 $ make
jbe@0 11
jbe@380 12 Ensure that "lf_update dbname=liquid_feedback" and
jbe@380 13 "lf_update_suggestion_order dbname=liquid_feedback" are called
jbe@380 14 regularly! It is required to run these commands regularly
jbe@380 15 (i.e. every 5 minutes via cron) to update cached supporter counts,
jbe@380 16 to change the state of issues when neccessary, to calculate the
jbe@380 17 result of votings, etc. If you wish, copy the created lf_update
jbe@380 18 and lf_update_suggestion_order files to /usr/local/bin or a
jbe@380 19 similar directory.
jbe@202 20
jbe@380 21 It is possible to run these two commands in parallel, if a setup
jbe@380 22 requires splitting the load to multiple processor cores. In other
jbe@380 23 cases it is recommended to run "lf_update" first, and then
jbe@380 24 "lf_update_suggestion_order".
jbe@202 25
jbe@380 26 On successful run, these commands will not produce any output
jbe@380 27 and exit with code 0. The command "lf_update_suggestion_order" may
jbe@380 28 be called with a first argument of "-v" to print log output.

jbe@0 30 NOTE: When writing to the database, some INSERTs must be executed
jbe@0 31 within the same transaction, e.g. issues can't exist without
jbe@0 32 an initiative and vice versa.
jbe@0 33
jbe@8 34 To create an export file, which is containing all but private data,
jbe@8 35 you may use the lf_export shell-script:
jbe@8 36 $ lf_export liquid_feedback export.sql.gz
jbe@8 37
jbe@274 38 Refer to source code of function "delete_private_data"() to see,
jbe@274 39 which data gets deleted. If you need a different behaviour, please
jbe@274 40 copy the function and modify the lf_export shell script accordingly.
jbe@274 41
jbe@0 42 To uninstall the software, delete the lf_update binary
jbe@0 43 and drop the database by entering the following command:
jbe@0 44 $ dropdb liquid_feedback
jbe@0 45
jbe@120 46 Updating is done using the update scripts in the update/ directory.
jbe@350 47 Do not forget to make backups, before installing any updates.
jbe@251 48 After updating it is recommended to recreate the schema as follows
jbe@251 49 (assuming the database superuser is named "postgres"):
jbe@120 50 $ pg_dump --disable-triggers --data-only DATABASE_NAME > tmp.sql
jbe@120 51 $ dropdb DATABASE_NAME
jbe@120 52 $ createdb DATABASE_NAME
jbe@120 53 $ psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -f core.sql DATABASE_NAME
jbe@251 54 $ su postgres # (execute following command as database superuser)
jbe@120 55 $ psql -v ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -f tmp.sql DATABASE_NAME
jbe@251 56 $ exit # leave "su" command
jbe@120 57 $ rm tmp.sql
jbe@120 58
