* priority: normal => high * type: enhancement => defect * severity: normal => blocker Comment: i install my linux system from source since a decade now and never needed to install gdbm. it is also one of the worst choices for storing data because of a weak hash algorythm and data loss in certain situations. this may not be a problem to pulseaudio. but it sounds weird to me that a soundserver is enforcing the installation of a certain db. i refuse to install gdbm and thus refuse to install pulseaudio. can't you at least choose a db more widely used today? for example, sqlite is a must-have, no way around it. yes, it can do more you need but it is a neccessity provided on just every system running modern software and more sane (except of using SQL as feed). actually, if your needs are so soft, doesn't a plain file do it too? regards, dennis -- Ticket URL: <http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/493#comment:2> PulseAudio <http://pulseaudio.org/> The PulseAudio Sound Server _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets
