emily | solving Berkeley DB reproducibility issues would still be valuable in general though, since it's likely there's software that doesn't support anything else :) | 13:34:18 |
emily | I know Debian and Fedora have been working on getting rid of it for years, but I don't know if they've fully achieved that | 13:35:08 |
emily | documenting your great deep dive into the internals will definitely be valuable | 13:36:17 |
guider-le-recit | Are you aware of any links that i can read up on that? | 13:37:21 |
guider-le-recit | okay | 13:37:28 |
emily | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pkubat/Draft_-_Removing_BerkeleyDB_from_Fedora is an old table from Fedora and https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/06/msg00338.html is an email from a decade-old mailing list thread in Debian talking about alternatives like LMDB | 13:39:34 |
emily | Debian still has a BDB package to this day though: https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/db5.3 | 13:39:39 |
emily | so I assume they didn't completely get rid of it :) | 13:40:24 |
guider-le-recit | How did you get that so fast? | 13:40:44 |
