Details
Description: In the latest version of rpm the default
backend was changed to sqlite and bdb was dropped. There is
however a new backend named bdb_ro introduced in 4.16, that
should continue to allow reading bdb databases. I'd also
request that ndb backend support be enabled as well.
The purpose behind this request is to support a container security scanner. It uses the hosts rpm cli to retrieve package data of rpm based containers. As this database format will vary from container to container, it would be great if multiple backend types could be supported. Additional info: * 4.17.0 |

- add --enable-ndb --enable-bdb-ro
- INSTALL says "The ndb and bdb_ro backends have no external dependencies"
- unrelated, but I noticed this during a test build:
'configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-external-db, --with-lua'
