All, Devs, Why are there no PHP-mongo or MongoDB packages? Yes MongoDB has a Apache custom:SSPL1 license (which explains why there is no MongoDB in official repos), but the php package has a normal Apache license, as does mongosh and mongodb-tools has reasonably non-restrictive mixed (Apache-2.0 BSD-2-Clause BSD-3-Clause ISC MIT MPL-2.0) licensing. I ask because recently I ended up working with it on Arch. While it isn't a replacement for SQL (relational) databases, it as a noSQL database, fills a different role, and has advantages depending on what your data is. (it's a document database where it stores collections of records which are simply JSON (or binary JSON) documents. This makes adding/removing documents trivial, as you don't care what the individual fields are, you are just storing documents. Even in the same collection the documents need not have the same fields. Obviously, there is no where near the tight "relational" quality between records, but if you are just handling documents, that's a plus. (and also why SQL [relational] and noSQL [document oriented] databases won't replace one another, they just fill different data-handling roles) There are some packages in user-repositories, but no ver: 4.4 (older, but last to support non-AVX processors). Does anyone know why there is such a dearth of mongo support in openSUSE? Anyone interested in it? Given is popularity in the containerized world, I was surprised not to find more of a selection? More of a curiosity, than anything else, but if folks are interested, it may be worth writing a .spec and creating a package. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
