Description brunoboclair 2017-11-12 18:52:40 UTC

The description for the USE flags concerning with header cache backends are quite inconsistent.
I propose to change them to

berkdb       = Enable bdb (Berkley DB) backend for header caching
gdbm         = Enable GDBM (GNU database libraries) backend for header caching
qdbm         = Enable QDBM (Quick Database Manager) backend for header caching
tokyocabinet = Enable Tokyo Cabinet database backend for header caching

mutt-1.9.1 has also the LMDB backend, so the suggestion for this would be:

lmdb = Enable LMDB (Lightning Memory-Mapped Database) backend for header caching

Hi

The neomutt maintainer has updated the descriptions for neomutt (see #637264). Would you go along? Or do you want to reassign this issue to him as you did in #637178.

Cheers
