 guider-le-recit | How did you get that so fast? | 13:40:44 |
 emily | ah, here's a more detailed Fedora change proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Libdb_deprecated (but they still have the package too) | 13:40:54 |
| emily | well, I found the Fedora thing yesterday, and the Debian link from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_DB ("By 2013 there were many alternatives to BDB, and Debian Linux was typical in their decision to completely phase out Berkeley DB, with a preference for the Lightning Memory-Mapped Database (LMDB).[26]") just now when checking if there might be an active fork/API-compatible replacement we could switch to 😆 | 13:42:01 |
| emily | so more like I already had them in tabs/browser history | 13:42:01 |
| guider-le-recit | This is great | 13:43:20 |
| guider-le-recit | Thank you once more | 13:43:32 |
| emily | thank you for digging into this! | 13:44:10 |
| emily | moving packages off Berkeley DB to a more maintained database library where possible will be great for both reproducibility and performance/security/etc., and if we can get the reproducibility issue in BDB itself fixed even better :) | 13:44:47 |
