There are all sort of risks including protecting data from theft for a server...

No. If you read the linked references, you can read more details

What BDB alternatives did you have in mind? RPM developers have considered several db backends. You can do some quick research to satisfy your curiosity...

[RahulSundaram]

That seems to imply Sqlite is not stable or modern. In reality Sqlite is extremely robust and used pretty much everywhere, iOS for storing text messages,...

[RahulSundaram]

That's correct. The problem with the Berkeley DB license change (from GPL to AGPL) is that it was driven by Oracle as a way to generate more revenue after...

[RahulSundaram]

Thanks. I took a look and I couldn't reproduce that with dnf-4.2.18-1.fc31.noarch. If you are still able to see that, you might want to just open a...

[RahulSundaram]

Your post indicates that it was auto closed after it was EOL. I wouldn't be able to tell whether it was resolved or not based on that. What was the bug...

[RahulSundaram]

That's a more reasonable comment. Which part of dnf is slower for you (ie) is it the metadata downloads? IO etc and what are the issues you have with...

[RahulSundaram]

That would explain a lot :-) Orange man is bad indeed...

Who is forcing you to reluctantly use it exactly? This is really getting to be quite amusing...

The OP has already openly admitted to not using the software since a long time ago and he is just here trolling. How about you?...

[RahulSundaram]

Now that you admit that you don't even use it, I see why you were so reluctant to provide any real data and since you don't use it, you have no clue what...

[RahulSundaram]

That's not how it works

Fedora people collectively don't work on any individual component and I am certainly not a dnf developer. If you...

[RahulSundaram]

You seem very confused. Dnf certainly is not my software

[RahulSundaram]

Passing of time can indeed be data measured through things like benchmarks. You didn’t provide any however....

[RahulSundaram]

Fun example that proves my point quite well. The sensation of pain is experiential data. That's what makes it actionable...

[RahulSundaram]

You absolutely need data for actionable claims. Otherwise you are just relying on faith...

[RahulSundaram]

I was responding to the question of history functionality which is something I use quite often.

On dnf performance: If you have any data...

[RahulSundaram]

Rolling back a bad update is far from the only one case for history and majority of use cases are not supported by filesystem snapshots which are not...

[RahulSundaram]

What tools? Feel free to point me to said tools. Afaik pacman doesn't even store any of the requisite metadata, so I don't how any similar functionality...
