We have already looked into this, but found it not to be usable so far, as
the sqlite database schema turns out to be a plain represetation of the xml
files, i.e. it's quite suboptimal for libzypp, which uses its own database
schema. Duncan, could you please elaborate on the details -- I know you did
some benchmarks already.
For yum uses it might still make sense to enable the sqlite db support (-d
option of createrop > 0.4.8).
Best,
Christoph
