[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Make the default DB backend macro configurable (#157)
Currently if rpm is built with --enable-ndb, all newly created databases are in that format. We'll need more control over the format to enable safe testing which is a prerequisite for wider testing. We need a macro configurable (%_rpmdb_backend or such) to set the default backend for newly created databases and default to BDB regardless of build-time options to be on the safe side. To convert to another format, changing the macro value to another backend and doing `rpmdb --rebuilddb` should be enough as rebuilddb starts by creating a new db. It should be possible to arbitrarily switch back and forth between backends by --rebuilddb. I suspect currently it only works going from BDB to NDB because the files from the old database are not cleaned out on rebuild, IIRC. So that might need fixing too. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Commit e96fde8 doesn't quite cut it:
```
backend/dbi.c: In function ‘dbDetectBackend’:
backend/dbi.c:39:5: warning: not enough variable arguments to fit a sentinel
[-Wformat=]
char *db_backend = rpmExpand("%{?_db_backend}");
^~~~
```
Also I think software should honor configuration: if it's configured to use db
X then it shouldn't override that through auto-detection. Maybe more like,
autodetect if %_db_backend set to "auto" or undefined, otherwise do what the
configuration says even if it means erroring out of the situation?

Yeah I suppose we can close this now, the format detection is less of an issue now that rebuillddb wipes out the old cruft. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
