Bug#987013: Release goal proposal: Remove Berkeley DB
Apache httpd allows to use DBM file for various purposes. The default
format is Berkeley DB. This is highly configuration dependent, automatic
migration by maintainer scripts seems unfeasible. This means that the
users need time and a tool to migrate their configurations. I have
opened [1] for this.
Subversion's first repository format uses Berkeley DB. But according to
[2], new repositories have not used that format as default since 1.2 in
2005 and the format has been deprecated in 1.8 in 2013. So maybe a note
in the release notes would be sufficient, here?
