Fwd: Re: [Gnumed-devel] expect for bootstrap script

[Sebastian Hilbert]

When bootstrapping latest database the user is asked for postgres user 
password and gm-db password. while this makes sense it doesn't on the 
subsequent updates 2->3, 3->4, 4->5 etc. It hardly changes inbetween. It is a 
common sour of problem as I often mistype it along the way
