Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
Would it be possible for the gdbm ebuild allow for a 64bit size off_t |
4 |
option? |
5 |
|
6 |
The reason is that as it stands now, gdbm-1.8.3-r3 on 32bit machines can |
7 |
only work with data base files of about 2 GB since off_t is 4 bytes. If |
8 |
gdbm is built with off_t size equal to 8 bytes, it will handle much |
9 |
larger database files. |
10 |
|
11 |
It would be helpful if there were a USE 64bit option for emerging gdbm. |

Thanks, |

PS: I am willing to help if needed. However I have not written an ebuild |
19 |
file before. |
