Db for concurrent NSS access : The return

[Jean-Marc Desperrier]

It seems there's a new comer of the front of candidate database for 
replacement of the current dbm, that's tdb and ldb from the Samba 
project. They very recently were re-released under a LGPL license.
The LGPLed source can only be checked out by using subversion :
 svn co svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_4_0/source/lib/ldb ldb
 svn co svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_4_0/source/lib/tdb tdb

http://ldb.samba.org/ should be created in the next few weeks as the
project home for ldb and tdb.
Gerv and Eich were already warned about that, I don't know for the NSS team.

Meanwhile I realise Nelson had also provided a pointer to SQL-Lite as 
another possible replacement.
Judging by the list of users :
http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=SqliteUsers, it seems like quite a 
valid option too.

This said it also clearly seems that another option to solve the problem 
for Mozilla is to link nss to the 
not-yet-working-even-if-apparently-present profile sharing 
infrastructure, so that this handles all the cert access problems 
instead of the database.
At the Mozilla level, it does after all seem more logic than an NSS 
specific solution, but the infrastructure is not yet really ready.
