HyperEstraier 0.5.7 was released on September 11th. This includes various changes since last debian packaged version 0.5.4. The soname of libestraier was bumped up from 3 to 5. It changes language bindings to -pure both ruby and java, and adds new language bindings of native version for ruby and java.

Note that this version is incompatible with older version, so that database created by older version can't be handled by this version of command such as estcmd and/or estmaster. hyperestraier_0.5.7-1.deb tries to handle this issues for node database specified by /etc/default/hyperestraier, but be careful. It also keeps older version of estcmd as /var/lib/hyperestriaer/estcmd.$version to access old databases.

I think upstream should provide the command to dump/restore the database (for example, estcmd dump db > tmp, estcmd restore db < tmp, estmaster dump db > tmp, estmaster restore db < tmp). Anyway, there is a way to do this by using existing command sets. To dump database by using estcmd, this is sample code (or used in preinst):

	. /etc/default/hyperestraier

	/etc/init.d/hyperestraier stop || true
	echo -n "node database dumping..."
	rm -rf $ROOTDIR.dpkg-tmp
	mkdir -p $ROOTDIR.dpkg-tmp/_node
	echo "$2" > $ROOTDIR.dpkg-tmp/_pkg_version
	for nodedir in $ROOTDIR/_node/*
	do
	  test -d $nodedir || continue
	  nodename=$(basename $nodedir)
	  echo -n " node/$nodename"
	  nodetmp=$ROOTDIR.dpkg-tmp/_node/$nodename
	  mkdir -p $nodetmp
	  estcmd list $nodedir | while read id uri
	  do
	    estcmd get $nodedir $id > $nodetmp/$id.est
	  done
	done
	echo " done."

and to restore this into node database (used in postinst):

		. /etc/default/hyperestraier

		echo -n "node database restoring..."
		for nodedir in $ROOTDIR/_node/*
		do
		  test -d $nodedir || continue
		  nodename=$(basename $nodedir)
		  rm -rf $nodedir
		  echo -n " node/$nodename"
		  nodetmp=$ROOTDIR.dpkg-tmp/_node/$nodename
		  for id in $nodetmp/*
		  do
		    test -f $id || continue
		    estcmd put $nodedir $id > /dev/null
		  done
		done
		echo " done."

qdbm 1.8.33 was released on September 11th. It adds/modifies some APIs required by newer version of hyperestraier.
