Package: akonadi-server Version: 4:22.12.3-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: he...@debian.org
Hey, Upstream has changed their support for akonadi backends. Nowadays they recommend to use SQLite, Postgres and MySQL/MariaDB is not really recommend anymore. So we should change the Depends line for akonadi-server, after bullseye has been released. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: Is SQLite3 still not recommended? Date: Tuesday, 4.

SQLite has made huge progress in the past many years since its support has been introduced to Akonadi. The documentation on wiki is certainly not up-to-date. While I was a big advocate for pushing PostgreSQL as the default backend for Akonadi in the past, I think nowadays going for anything else than SQLite as the default backend is silly. Especially with today's fast SSD drives, I don't think a regular user will notice any difference, it might actually turn out to be the fastest solution overall. Coincidentally, I recently learned that the SQLite shared cache mode, which Akonadi uses, has been deprecated for a while and WAL mode is now recommended for most usecases, so that's something to look into. There might be more new features in SQLite that have been introduced in the past years that Akonadi could leverage for better performance.
