Hi Knot DNS developers,
I've seen the discussion about the breaking changes between LMDB 0.9 and
1.0.
I understand that Knot DNS 3.6 will have some magic in it to
automatically migrate the databases.
However, my concern is about the installation of LMDB itself. Currently,
our Knot DNS packages depend on the "lmdb-libs" package from the
distribution (RedHat and derivatives), and it is version 0.9.x. RedHat
is conservative, is unlikely to update to 1.0, because that would break
everything, so I expect the RedHat packages to remain at 0.9.
Will the new Knot DNS require newer LMDB, and if so, is it expected that
we'll have to roll our own packages for LMDB? Or do you intend to bundle
LMDB with Knot DNS as you do with some other libraries?
