CouchDB should use a VERSION file in the database directory
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: COUCHDB-44
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-44
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Noah Slater
            Priority: Critical


Packaging CouchDB for Debian would be a lot easier if CouchDB used a VERSION file (or similar) in the database directory to indicate which database format was in use. With this in place automated installation scripts could warn, error or perform upgrades when a conflicting version was about to be installed.
