Re: postfix-3.11.4,1 does not work with lmdb-1.0.0,1, requires 0.93.5,1

Now, I found in UPDATING (should have looked earlier):

20260702:
  AFFECTS: users of databases/lmdb
  AUTHOR: [email protected]

  LMDB 1.0 introduced an incompatible on-disk file format change.
  Versions 0.9.x and 1.0.x databases are mutually incompatible.

  Before upgrading, export all existing databases using the old v0.9
  mdb_dump utility, then import them with the new v1.0 mdb_load after
  upgrading.  There is no support for opening v0.9 database files
  directly with LMDB 1.0.

  Example migration procedure:
  # mdb_dump -a /path/to/db > /tmp/mydb.dump
  # pkg upgrade databases/lmdb
  # mdb_load -f /tmp/mydb.dump /path/to/newdb
<snip>

That would be a whole lotta work for my numerous knot3 and postfix-current lmdb databases at some servers ...

+1
