Hello, I intent to package tdb (the Trivial Database) which is a GDBM work-alike. The tdb, unlike GDBM, has support for multiple simultaneous writers and internal locking to protect from overlapped writes. From the upstream readme:
This is a simple database API. It was inspired by the realisation that in Samba we have several ad-hoc bits of code that essentially implement small databases for sharing structures between parts of Samba. As I was about to add another I realised that a generic database module was called for to replace all the ad-hoc bits. I based the interface on gdbm. I couldn't use gdbm as we need to be able to have multiple writers to the databases at one time. The packages are ready and waiting for upload if I'm OK-ed to package it :) TIA, marek -- Visit: http://caudium.net - the Caudium WebServer /* A completely unrelated fortune */ Necessity has no law. -- St. Augustine
