Actually I disagree that it would be better to use bundled LevelDB. See: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1naenR6N6fMWSpHM0f4jpQhYBEkCEQDbLBs8AXC19Y-o/edit#heading=h.i7tz3gqh65mi and http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=31207353 for detailed discussion and justification from upstream. If you disagree, I'd be interested in hearing why. Cheers, Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
