Package: libtokyocabinet9 Followup-For: Bug #667979 Hallo Mikhail,
thanks for reporting this issue. Always enable swab of course seems not not make sense, however I cannot tell the reasons of the then-maintainer. Basically we have three options here: 1) Go for little-endian for all archs 2) Go for big-endian fot all archs 3) Use the native endieness of the architecture If we go for a dedicated endianess I think it should be little-endian because the mayor archs running this endianess. So I would rule out 2) However this sacrifies those users which are not interested in having a portable database but running on a big-endian machine. This would be option #3 but would sacrifies the "portable db" feature. (Honestly, I do not know if this feature is widely used Therefore I'm slightly in favour of 3). Let me know your opinion. coldtobi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
