Hi,

I intend to switch pam_userdb's database provider from BerkeleyDB to GDBM
and I'm writing a Fedora System-Wide Change
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PamBerkeleyDBtoGdbm> for Fedora 40.
The upgrade process would involve a manual procedure where the user needs
to run a conversion tool for the database. Is this acceptable?

An automation process could be created, but the location of the database is
configurable, which increases its complexity and effort. Especially for a
PAM module that is not widely used. Another option I can think of is to
automate the conversion process for the default location, and leave the
manual conversion for those using a tuned location. Would that be
acceptable?
