Was this ever committed? I reckon we need libdb (I need it for something ATM), and I don't find it in the history. I'm happy to pick this up and run with it. Cheers, Bayard On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 10:05 AM, Guido Berhoerster wrote: > * Alasdair Lumsden [2011-10-05 01:31]: > > > > On 3 Oct 2011,

The other historical problem with BDB is that they have on numerous occasions changed the on-disk format, so just relinking an application with a newer lib can easily break applications. That's far worse than the API instability. Gordon On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 6:46 PM, Richard Lowe wrote: > This

This is because Berkeley DB used to be famously bad at back/forward compatible of ABI or API. (it at least used to be the canonical example of sucking at it). It doesn't seem wise to ship just one 'bdb' unless someone can say for certain that they got better, otherwise it's just asking for troubl
