Announce: new libgdbm, libdb and libreadline
THESE ARE ALPHA PACKAGES!
Here are new versions of libgdbm, libdb and libreadline. They've been
split in runtime and development versions. All of them have undergone
major changes. For this reason, please do not install them unless
you know what you're doing.
I'd appreciate feedback on these versions, especially with regard to
their packaging (is the upgrading safe now?) and their usability with the
perl, python, bash and man packages.
Note that libreadline uses the new ncurses package.
