Here's the summary of what was decided with TDB2: please correct if this
is wrong!
(1) TDB2 will be used in Samba 4.0, introduced during/before beta.
=> If it takes longer than 2 weeks, it won't make the first beta.
=> Rusty will get autoconf tdb2 working.
(2) TDB2 should not be backwards compatible with TDB1.
=> Rusty to remove tdb1 compat code from tdb2.
(3) TDB2 should be a separate library, not a version bump.
=> You will be able to link against both.
=> API names to change from tdb_* to <newname>_*
=> Rusty to poll for a new name: ntdb?
(4) SAMBA 4 will use the TDB2 on-disk format.
=> You can use tdbbackup then tdb2restore to update (offline).
(5) Volker (?) will look at expanding the db_wrap usage so that we can
potentially interchange tdb1 and tdb2.
Thanks,
Rusty.
PS. Name suggestions welcome!
