Greetings Robert, Thanks for your input.
The optimisation of libdb3 is that we allow on-the-fly compression of pages. I believe the original author of this patch (Loic, who has since left the team) offered the patches to the Berkeley DB project but they weren't interested. (They have a point. This patch has caused lots of headaches in the past, mostly fixed by Neal. I think it may be responsible for some current flakyness under cygwin.) I agree it would be great if they adopted the patches. Feel free to apply pressure to them :) If you do, let us know so we can approach them at the same time. Regarding the man pages, would you like to contribute the Debian pages to our code base, for us to maintain? (Better still, would you like to contribute them, and join the ht://Dig team as the "man pages maintainer" to keep reminding us to document our features?) Thanks again for the suggestions, Lachlan On Fri, 30 Jan 2004 21:32, Robert Ribnitz wrote: > -libdb3 (the Berkeley DB) is included, rather than linked against. > This 'inflates' the package.
