Do you have a credible alternative to Berkeley DB?
I also have great trouble with it in svn, but never with cfengine.
Although I'm not a C-coder, maybe making the DB-API a seperate part
in the code and allowing people
to chose their own database would be an option. So one can chose
between Berkeley and (e.g. flattext,
sqlite,gdbm,etc.). This way you can keep it flexible enough to
respond to whatever may happen in the
database field and still keep a "recommended setup".
sqlite sounds like a credible alternative.
contingency plans are good.
An embedded databsae is not an SQL database, so that would require
some rewriting. Also, do you think that sqllite would avoid any of the
problems one has with BerkeleyDB? If so why?
Just for the record, I'm find with berkelydb, as long as it remains
open-source. I don't know if sqlite would avoid any problems or not.
