Subject: qdbm: No LFS support

Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2007 10:05:44 +0100

Package: qdbm
Version: 1.8.74-1.1
Severity: serious
Justification: LFS support is a release goal

Hi,

there's no LFS support in qdbm, which makes it unsuitable for lenny,
since LFS is a release goal. It also doesn't look like new releases
(qdbm-1.8.77) fix that.

Cheers,

  Note that libqdbm has very few reverse dependencies:

  * estraier
  * hyperestraier
  * tracker
  * bogofilter

  and that qdbm author provides a full rewrite of his library under the
name of tokyocabinet, with a very similar API, that doesn't suffers of
the same limitations (it's currently sitting in NEW).

  I just sent a patch to bogofilter to support tokyocabinet. I don't
think *estraier and tracker will be hard to patch either.

  Though we will need to release lenny with qdbm and this bug because
people will need to have a working qdbm and a working tokyocabinet part
of the same release to dump database using qdbm tools and import them
using tokyocabinet ones [AFAIK tokyocabinet isn't able to read QDBM
files].


  So when RMs will go and read about that bug, I'd suggest that it's
tagged lenny-ignore for that very reason (unless someones has a better
clue ;p).

Cheers,

Subject: release blockers/goals

Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2008 09:13:34 +0100

severity 452074 important
thanks

Heya,

LFS support is a release *goal*, which means that we allow certain
actions (0-day NMUs, ...) but it is NOT a release blocker. An rc
severity should only be used to *block* the release with the affected
package, that's not what we want here.

So please, don't upgrade bugs for release goals to RC. Adding unneeded
rc bugs just makes the little baby lenny cry.

Subject: kyotocabinet now available to be ported to

Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 19:06:25 -0700

kyotocabinet is now in sid, which as the successor to tokyocabinet, is
also the successor to qdbm. It is 64-bit, and supports sizes up to 8
exabytes. (2^63)

I have also packaged kyototycoon, (network service) ruby-kytocabinet,
and python-kyotocabinet (python3)., and am looking for sponsors for
these packages.
