Description Patrick Laimbock 2025-10-20 19:05:19 UTC

Please re-enable the LMDB backend in pdns.

While the LMDB backend was depcrecated in version 4.0.0, it was reinstroduced in version 4.2.0. See https://blog.powerdns.com/2019/08/30/powerdns-authoritative-server-4-2-0  But it was never re-enabled in pdns.spec.

Per https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/backends/lmdb.html the LMDB backend is considered stable as of 4.4.0.

The LMDB backend even has support for views with catalogs which the sqlite backend lacks.


Reproducible: Always
