I likely should also warn about what is pending in rpm-5.4.10 because
of its impact on how rpm will need to be built.
The embedded sqlite3 is being deployed as a specspo replacement.
This is already sketched in as proof-of-concept in rpm-5.4.9 parallel
to the HR-MIB, where the output of
rpm -q --wdj:l10n.sqlite bash
is adding KEY:VAL pairs in a sqlite3 database in /var/lib/wdj/l10n/*
--> UUID is on the verge of being MANDATORY
Another development active this month is resurrecting sqlite3 as
a replacement for Berkeley DB. The hard problem here is that
there are *TWO* sqlite's, one "vanilla" enabled with
--with-sqlite
and the other "for free" because of sqlite3 in db-5.x.y enabled by
--with-dbsql
Since the same symbols reside in both libraries, these two build
options are likely now mutually exclusive. Enable both at your
own risk (its likely a crap shoot and first found symbol implicitly
dependent on ordering in loader flags, but that is just a guess).
The API's in the two libraries are identical, but the generated format
is not identical. This is sure to be confusing.
--> The --with-sqlite and --with-dbsql options are likely mutually exclusive
(Mandriva and Per Oyvind have both enabled, we shall soon see/hear
what evil lurks if both are enabled).
Finally there is ODBC -> {mysql,postgres,sqlserver} that is going
to lead to revisiting
RPM -> GPSEE -> JS -> ODBC
through a module within the next week. With luck, it may
be possible to restart RPM+GPSEE as a result. Dunno yet …
--> RPM + ODBC may also be merged into embedded sqlite.
News at 11 … no idea which parts of the above are needed/useful,
I just know what I'm working on and approx. the delivery schedule …
