couchdb: update to 3.0.0

[pullmoll]

This does not yet seem to run so I need help.

I need this to review couchdb for taking part in a paid work environment.

Building the template in the current state results in a mostly empty package.
I think I got a step further by setting make_build_target="release".

[pullmoll]

@jnbr Yeah, this at least gives me a /usr/lib/couchdb/couchdb/bin/couchdb which can be symlinked to /usr/bin/couchdb. Thanks!

[pullmoll]

I cannot get it to start up right. After installing I edited /etc/couchdb/local.ini to set an adimistrator account, i.e. admin = password, and log level to debug [log] level = debug. Then I ran sudo -i -u couchdb /usr/lib/couchdb/bin/couchdb and this is the output:

Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump...

Perhaps someone can tell what I'm doing wrong or whether there may be a problem with erlang? I'm stuck here and ran out of ideas.

[pullmoll]

Finally I got it up and running.
Please review and, if you think it's okay, also merge.

[pullmoll]

I broke it again. It seems couchdb is very flimsy about access rights to directories it wants to access. Also reading and interpreting erl_crash.dump files is an entirely new experience - in case you want to see something new :-)

Now I'm trying to find out which of the recent changes broke it again. It certainly has to do with me trying to make the actual databases be stored below /var/lib/couchdb/data instead of /usr/lib/couchdb/data.

🆘 🪓 💣 🧠 🏗️ 🤯 ... anyone willing to help? @arete?

[pullmoll]

Noone's interested thus closing.
