Re: [gentoo-user] Do you leave it on? USE=berkdb

How about gdbm? At one point berkdb and gdbm conflicted in cyrus-sasl and I think there were issues in PHP as well... this is roughly 2-3 years ago. I started turning berkdb off for most things and never noticed a difference. My understanding is that they do the same thing. I'd say using neither is an issue. Apache will start, process config files, and then use berkdb or gdbm to create a hash of the vhosts for fast lookups. I'd assume Apache has some less efficient fallback code to hash configs or it would fail to build without one or the other. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I guess I'll go for berkdb since it's a default and gdbm is not. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Do you leave it on? USE=berkdb
I have mine off. However, you should see which packages you have installed that would take advantage of it before you turn it off globally. Grant wrote: Do you guys leave the berkdb USE flag on? It seems to be a default flag, but I've been using -berkdb in make.conf ever since I started using Gentoo. Is it basically a better way for lots of different packages to manage their databases? - Grant Does anyone else have a comment on this?
