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.
does it mean rpm is changing from Berkeley DB library to another
library or to a completely new implementation of a database engine?
