Change format of the RPM Database from Berkeley DB to RPM's own format.
== Detailed Description ==
The current implementation of the RPM Database is based on Berkeley
DB. There are doubts about the its future and level of maintenance. In
addition rpm's use of the database has multiple issues on its own. As
a result RPM upstream is working to replace the database format with a
new implementation.
How will this work in situations like the builders. Rpm on f23
makes the f24
chroots. I am guessing that will be mostly ok, the db will just have the old
format. But what about when we move the builders to f24 and use f24 and rpm
with the new db format to make rhel 5, 6, 7 and Fedora, 22 and 23 buildroots.
Is there the potential that things will break horribly?
