 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 |
| 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 |
