While looking into the Mageia2 python package I noticed we do have those
berkley db patches in the cauldron package we don't have in the Mga2 one:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/python/current/SOURCES/Python-2.7.1-berkeley-db-5.3-2.patch?view=markup
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/python/current/SOURCES/Python-2.7.1-berkeley-db-5.3.patch?revision=260507&view=markup
Since we do have lib64db5.1-5.1.25 in Mga2, should we add them to the
Mga2 python package as well?
Or are they not needed in Mga2?
Sorry, I don't know anything about the bsddb bindings. Furthermore, they
are not really maintained anymore, users are recommended to use pybsddb
instead:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bsddb3/
As I see it, we don't have bsddb3 in the repos, someone should import
it. I can look at it in the next days.
But when the bindings are not supported upstream (I read something along
those lines, while looking at those patches), I won't backport them to
the Mga2 (and perhaps Mga1 as well?) package.
I will just backport the security related patches from the cauldron
package then.
