[mb-datafeed] URGENT: apply patch or update from SVN to restore live data feed

[Robert Kaye]

Hi!

Due to a vulnerability in Postgres we were forced to update our main  
DB earlier today:

    http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/23/2228225

Unfortunately a portion of this quote escaping mess had some side- 
effects on our custom pieces of code that make up our replication  
system. In order to continue the data replication feed, you will need  
to do ONE of the following:

0. Consider upgrading your postgres installation for security reasons.

1. Update the source from subversion, if you have already moved from  
CVS to subversion. Running a

# svn up dbmirror.pm

from the cgi-bin/MusicBrainz/Server directory should update the file  
in question.

OR

2. cd to your top level mb_server directory and then download this  
patch:

http://users.musicbrainz.org/~dave/dbmirror-quote.patch

Then, apply this patch with:

# patch -p0 < dbmirror-quote.patch

Finally, restart the server just in case and the replication should  
catch up next time your cron job fires off.

Sorry for the hassle, please let me know if you have any problems!
