Part of the current RPM db backend extension project 13:11 Nanar> jbj: http://www.aerov.jussieu.fr/~thauvin/rpmconstant-0.0.3.tar.gz 13:12 Nanar> jbj: I made a library for my need, but feel free to comment, integrate, patch, ect... 13:14 jbj> Nanar: hang the ptr in bugzilla please. I'll try to integrate this week. perhaps not for rpm-4.4.1 which I need to get out lest the features creep on me, but immediately thereafter. 13:15 jbj> just snip the scollback, more than enough. 13:15 Nanar> ok no problem and no emergency 13:16 Nanar> I back home and fill bugzilla ASAP
13:33 rsc> Dumb question: Why does rpm have sqlite support? Tomorrow we've requirements to xorg-x11 or qt? :-S 13:34 fray> rsc, because there are some of us who can no longer deal with the support problems of BerkleyDB in our environments 13:39 _jasonc_> and bdb licensing has scared away a corporation or two that would like to use rpm 13:50 jbj> _jasonc_: way more complicated than obvious. cheap bastards imho. 13:50 _jasonc_> jbj: not necessarily debating merits of that argument 13:50 _jasonc_> just stating that it has been an issue 13:51 jbj> resc: yes, licensing is main reason. stability too, 2 years of wrestling nptl has generated much bdbd hatred unnecessarily.
Setting priority to high since patch is included
Misleading subject as no db related patches. The utility needs some work: [pauln@enki rpmconstant-0.0.3]$ ./rpmconstant name Segmentation fault [pauln@enki rpmconstant-0.0.3]$ ./rpmconstant -c rpmtag name name: 1000 Not considering for inclusion at this time, if it gets fixed up please submit via rpm-devel list.
