Description Forza 2025-06-02 07:07:34 UTC

Since there are now at least two fully compatible Redis forks (Redict and Valley) and a third partially compatible (DragonflyDB) it would be good to have a virtual or app-alternative for redis so that builds don't need to target the specific implementation. 

Reproducible: Always




For now, I think only Redict is in Portage, but there may be overlays.
