| Phase 1 - Identification | |
|---|---|
| Status | Blocked |
| On license. | |
| Group | LSB |
| Number | #034 |
| Assigned: 2005-02-28 Requestor: Original Request |
|
| Demand | Maybe |
| We've had a few requests for it. | |
| License | No |
| The current license does not meet the LSB license criteria. Here is a thread on the lsb-futures mailing list started by someone from Sleepycat with their interpretation of the LSB criteria for libdb. |
|
| Bestpractice | Maybe |
| Might be best practice for the database in a file niche. | |
| Stable | Maybe |
| The version 4 abi has changed several times in recent history, but hopefully with proper versioning (need to check on this). It's been confusing for application developers to keep track of the changes. There may not be a problem but it deserves some attention before proceeding. | |
| Depends | Yes |
| libc | |
| Phase 2 - Investigation | |
| Rationale | Unknown |
| Need to write this still. | |
| Upstream | Unknown |
| Need to contact. | |
| Distros | Maybe |
| All distros provide several versions, we need to contact them. | |
| Versions | Unknown |
| Distros probably have significant patches, need to assess. Getting them all sync'd up would be a very good thing. | |
| Patches | Unknown |
| I18n | Unknown |
| Resources | No |
| If you are interested in working on this please send email to the lsb-futures list. | |
| Phase 3 - Implementation | |
| Db | No |
| Spec | No |
| In addition to the libdb interfaces there will be commands work that would need to be done. | |
| Test | No |
| Hopefully there are some upstream tests that could be used. | |
| Devel | No |
| Pending db import. In addition to stub libs and header files, may require development commands. | |
| Sample | No |
| Appbat | No |
| Plenty of options for easy things to add. | |
