Hi! Linux distributions slowly phasing out BerkeleyDB, as unmaintained/abandoned software. In particular, for Debian, the plan is to drop it completely either in the next or next-to-next stable release - which means about 2 or 4 years from now.
I very much hope we'll have at least one more release with BDB, or else transition will be painful (it will be painful either way, just less so if we don't have to do it in one go). But this is not the point. What I'm wondering is - which alternative to use instead of BDB? There's lmdb which can be used here and is quite similar in functionality. There's gdbm, which falsely marked as "broken" in postfix just because it uses one file instead of two in old dbm, but it is also quite old (but supported still). Ideally it'd be best to keep hash:/btree: prefix and have the whole thing working with old format, producing the new format by postmap/postalias. But this is hardly possible, it looks like. Has this topic been bought up before, any thoughts on this?
