Umm, it's not maintained *upstream*; I maintain the debian package. It is worth porting the code to use db, even using the dbm-style interfaces, but since there's no data-level compatibility I need to package up a libc6 gdbm anyhow... probably this weekend... but don't wait for it, start on converting [which should be trivial, since you're presumably using all the dbm_* interfaces anyway...] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
