PL/R - R Procedural Language for PostgreSQL

Edit Package postgresql-plr

PL/R is a loadable procedural language that enables you to write PostgreSQL functions and triggers in the R programming language. PL/R offers most (if not all) of the capabilities a function writer has in the R language.

Commands are available to access the database via the PostgreSQL Server Programming Interface (SPI) and to raise messages via elog() . There is no way to access internals of the database backend. However the user is able to gain OS-level access under the permissions of the PostgreSQL user ID, as with a C function. Thus, any unprivileged database user should not be permitted to use this language. It must be installed as an untrusted procedural language so that only database superusers can create functions in it. The writer of a PL/R function must take care that the function cannot be used to do anything unwanted, since it will be able to do anything that could be done by a user logged in as the database administrator.

An implementation restriction is that PL/R procedures cannot be used to create input/output functions for new data types.

- use _multibuild
As such it should replace any variant of postgresql-plr we have in factory.

- Packaging
  + Make comment versionable
  + Remove obsoleted macro (mkdir, install)
  + Fix copyright line 
- Remove non maintained postgresql version 9.1 9.2
- Undo the rename of postgresql-plr.changes.in to make happy 
  factory auto-bot 
- Update to 08.03.00.17 version - Bring support to postgresql96
- Packaging
  + Move source to github and adapt packaging for that
  + Add plr-US.pdf as documentation, html being not delivered
    Documentation is build outside of the package to avoid texlive
  + Redone patch-Makefile-ldflags.patch to current sources
  + Rename postgresql-plr.changes.in to postgresql-plr.changes to
    ease osc vc edition, adapt pre_checking.sh to this change.

  Set R_SignalHandlers = 0, the proper way to prevent R from taking signals in the first place (Mark Kirkwood)
  Adjust RPM spec file
  As of pg9.2 the syntax "LANGUAGE 'C'" no longer works. Use "LANGUAGE C" instead.
  The MacPorts installation has the header filed distributed across two different directories, so there is no single "rincludedir" to query from pkg-config. Instead, do it the proper way and ask pkg-config for the cflags, which should work for all installation variants. (Peter Eisentraut)
