hi. i wanted to make a new bsd db4 back-end for alpm. but i never reached my goal. and will not all i have is a proof of concept code that use bsd db4 api to store pmpkg_t and wanted to share it with anyone (interested ?)
i have coded 3 utilities: - one that converts pacman's db into a bsd db4 file for each repo - one that reads that new db format to perform query as pacman does - one that converts directly a tarball db (taken from a sync mirror) into a bsd db4 file if this proves useful for someone, great. More info at http://pagesperso-orange.fr/solstice.dhiver/alpmdb4.html and in the README of http://pagesperso-orange.fr/solstice.dhiver/data/readdb.tar.gz
