I just provided a patch for 447369, and I'll follow and NMU if needed. Another workd I did is around the bug: 452074. qdbm has no LFS support, and after discussing with upstream it's quite clear that if he will continue to receive fixes, this issue cannot be fixed without a major rework he's not willing to do. He issued a new library though, quite alike to qdbm, named tokyocabinet, that I now package. qdbm has 3 rdeps in debian: bogofilter, hyperestraier and tracker. I've sent a patch to bogofilter, that has been merged upstream thanks to Clint, and the last bogofilter builds a -tc variant. Some work will be needed to urge people to export their old qdbm databases and import them into tc ones, but bogofilter has all the tools to do that (bogodump and friends). I also sent a patch for tracker: #452657, that make it use tokyo cabinet databases, _and_ convert old qdbm ones on the fly. The idea is to keep this patch in lenny, and drop qdbm support in lenny+1. Hyperestraier is from the same author than qdbm, and it uses it all over the place. I've not contacted him about that yet, but I'm unlikely to provide a patch. Though the same approach should work: have an hyperstraier that works with tokyocabinet, and have conversions programs to run on the indexes to convert them. The covnersion tools would need to be supported for lenny, and dropped in lenny+1. Cheers, -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
