Description

AppStream is a collaborative effort for making machine-readable software metadata easily available to programs that need it. It is part of the Freedesktop ecosystem and provides a convenient way to retrieve information about available software.

AppStream consists of a specification to describe individual software component metadata in XML (so-called MetaInfo files), as well as a derived specification for a metadata-collection format to provide a list of these metadata entries in XML or YAML for easy consumption by software centers and other tools which need to know about available software in a repository.

databases/lmdb0: Add port for LMDB 0.9.x legacy ABI

LMDB 1.0 introduced an incompatible on-disk format change and subtle API breakage: applications that compiled cleanly against 1.0 headers could fail silently at run time. Known affected ports include dns/knot3, mail/bogofilter, and mail/postfix; the postfix issue has been confirmed upstream. Linux distributions such as Arch Linux have observed the same breakage. Samba can also be affected in certain configurations. Because the regression is not detectable in an -exp build run -- the postfix failure only manifests at run time, and bogofilter was caught only because post-build self-tests happen to exercise this path -- we cannot rely on package builds to validate the 1.0 upgrade. This commit introduces databases/lmdb0 as a holding port for the 0.9.35 …
