Newly created databases will be sqlite unless overridden in configuration.
If BDB database is detected at %posttrans of rpm itself, it's flagged
for rebuild in the next reboot. This will serve two purposes: the primary
objective is obviously to convert to configured (ie sqlite) format,
but as a secondary side-effect, any remaining BDB databases will get
a much needed maintenance rebuild from time to time.
Discussed in https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2382, deemed to not require
any exceptions although this is a bit of an unusual path.
%triggerun as opposed to seemingly more obvious %triggerin is used to
ensure preset files have already been updated without adding new
ordering constraints.
%{name} and %{version} refer to the name and version strings of the
package that will be built and shouldn't be used for things that
do not honor those macros. Such as pre-existing or predetermined
filenames.
De-facto packaging practises over multiple decade liberally (ab)use
these and various other macros in places they don't belong - if rpm itself
doesn't follow its own rules then how can we expect anybody else to do so...
This doesn't change anything as is, but enables both Name: and Version:
to be changed arbitrarily without breaking the package build, which is
how it should optimally be. If this was strictly followed then scl-utils
would've been a walk in the park. Relatively speaking.
This can be activated with 'touch /var/lib/rpm/.rebuilddb' to perform
rpmdb rebuild on next reboot. The immediate motivation is having a place
to perform automatic database format conversion in a reasonably safe
manner, but could also serve recovery purposes.
Commit a5c4573419 caused a literal
/var/lib/rpm/.*.* file to be packaged as a ghost instead of the db lock
files it was supposed to catch. Ensure any hidden db locks get copied
too after initializing. Thanks to Thierry Vignaud for spotting.
- Add bconds for and enable sqlite, ndb and bdb_ro database backends
- Add bcond for disabling bdb backend
- Drop lmdb bcond, the backend was removed upstream
- Ensure all database backend files are owned
- Fix external environment causing test-suite failures in spec build
- Re-enable hard test-suite failures again
We have enabled SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, but it changed behavior of
RPMTAG_BUILDTIME. We need to restore it…
