1.3.0-2 and the new Deb repos

Hi all,

I've just updated to 1.3.0-2 in all the Debian repos to address a serious
issue with Sqlite3 databases being wiped out under certain circumstances.
If you've been bitten by this, then my apologies. It should now be safe to
upgrade sqlite3 databases (many thanks to AbyssOne in IRC for his help in
tracking down the issue).

A few people have mentioned the fact that the 'stable' repo jumped from 1.2
to 1.3 when it was released on Monday. As per community discussion from a
few weeks ago[1], there are version-specific repos now, for each major
Foreman release, so if you wish to lock yourself to 1.2, use

deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ <distro> 1.2

Stable will continue to track the latest release, so it is currently a
symlink to 1.3, but that will change as and when we reach 1.4.

Thanks
Greg

A quick follow up - because the 1.3.0-1 package contained 0-size
{production,development}.sqlite3 files, which 1.3.0-2 now (correctly)
doesn't contain, 1.3.0-1 will remove the files when it is upgraded. Backup
your sqlite files before upgrading, copy them back into place after the
upgrade, and run "foreman-rake db:migrate" to bring it up to date.

Sorry for the disturbance.
