If anyone actually does start working on a textfiles->binary database solution, which could automatically, say, determine when the binary database needed to be re-written, and could automatically recover from a corrupted or missing database (of course!), please let me know.
I'm the doc-base maintainer, and we're expecting to need to construct a database out of a slew of little 'docreg' files (little control files holding document metadata). I know Marco Budde, the maintainer of of dhelp, has already implemented something that's really close. Marco, wanna step up to the plate and develop a generic solution that could work for dpkg on the *.list files and for doc-base? I.e., given a parsing system to parse the files (hopefully pluggable), it should construct an indexed fast lookup database. -- .....A. P.
