Hello! I submitted a Pull Request to update LMDB to 1.0.0 a while ago:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/33380 I mentioned as much to Howard Chu (lead dev behind LMDB, OpenLDAP, etc.) and he mentioned that it might be worth keeping .9 around to facilitate database migrations. However, personally I don't actually use LMDB in any sort of embedded fashion which would require a migration per se? Nonetheless, I observed that LMDB has a lot of installations; or at least, more reported via mpstats sorts than any other MacPort where I added myself as a maintainer and presumably others might have more concerns? Given the potential impact, I don't want to inadvertently step on anyone's toes. I thought, ever so briefly: "oh, maybe I'll just create lmdb-devel and have that as 1.0.0" though in practice, that doesn't really seem as if it functions the way I would imagine might be helpful for migrating anything. Even if I were to amend my locally tested Portfile with a "conflicts" so that lmdb and lmdb-devel can't be installed simultaneously; that may actually be OK for LMDB, but maybe less useful for anyone contending with needing to migrate anything between versions! So, while I may be making a mountain out of a molehill? Ryan suggested that rather than opening a Trac ticket for such brainstorming as I had done previously, it would have been wiser to use the macports-dev mailing list and I finally find myself with some time to do so. Perspective is welcome! Thank you! ｜ グ レ ェ ーgræy
