Description Jindrich Novy 2008-09-24 18:31:12 UTC

Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/compat-db/compat-db43.spec
SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/compat-db/compat-db43-4.3.29-0.1.fc10.src.rpm
Description:
The Berkeley Database (Berkeley DB) is a programmatic toolkit that provides
embedded database support for both traditional and client/server applications.
This package contains Berkeley DB version library 4.3.29 for
applications which need it for backward compatibility.

This bug is related to #459710. The split of compat-db is planned to reduce size of total packages pulled in as dependencies to fit liveCD. Currently compat-db contains three versions of BDB which is wasteful.

Any chance we could remove some of them entirely? Are we sure we need them all?

Comment 2 Jindrich Novy 2008-09-24 18:58:08 UTC

[jnovy@dhcp-lab-186 ~]$ repoquery --whatrequires libdb-4.3.so
compat-db-0:4.6.21-3.fc10.i386
cyrus-sasl-lib-0:2.1.22-18.fc10.i386

cyrus-sasl-lib still needs it. I'm not sure whether cyrus-sasl still needs this particular BDB version. As soon as it is upgraded to anything more recent we can safely drop 4.3.29.

Comment 3 Jindrich Novy 2008-09-26 12:00:47 UTC

cyrus-sasl is now upgraded to use newer db4 so let's nuke BDB 4.3 :)
