Yes, this does solve gdbm's problem. I tried the newly emerged gdbm and |
| 19 |
was able to create large data bases beyond the ~2GB file size limit. I |
| 20 |
generated 3.1GB databases and twice as large. |

Will the ebuild change be a part of future ebuild versions? |

|

I have exchanged e-mails with the gdbm maintainer and he said databases |
| 25 |
written with 32bit off_t will not be read/modified by gdbm when compiled |
| 26 |
with 64bit off_t. |
