Package: wnpp Control: affects -1 + src:kyotocabinet X-Debbugs-Cc: kyotocabinet@packages.debian.org Severity: normal I intend to orphan the kyotocabinet package. The development of upstream project is almost stalled, and a successor project (tkrzw) is now available. I expect future maintenance needs to be minimal. The package description is: Kyoto Cabinet is a library of routines for managing a database. The database is a simple data file containing records, each is a pair of a key and a value. Every key and value is serial bytes with variable length. Both binary data and character string can be used as a key and a value. Each key must be unique within a database. There is neither concept of data tables nor data types. Records are organized in hash table or B+ tree. . Kyoto Cabinet runs very fast. For example, elapsed time to store one million records is 0.9 seconds for hash database, and 1.1 seconds for B+ tree database. Moreover, the size of database is very small. For example, overhead for a record is 16 bytes for hash database, and 4 bytes for B+ tree database. Furthermore, scalability of Kyoto Cabinet is great. The database size can be up to 8EB (9.22e18 bytes). . Sponsored by the same company, Kyoto Cabinet is "[a] more powerful and convenient library than Tokyo Cabinet [and] surpasses Tokyo Cabinet in every aspect". Thanks, Boyuan Yang
