New Berkeley DB 4.5.20 from Oracle Corporation

New Berkeley DB 4.5.20 from Oracle Corporation

[Dr. Volker Zell]

Hi

I want to package the latest version of openldap. The folks there do not recommend to use
db-4.3 but instead db-4.4/db-4.5.

It seems that Gerrit is gone, so I prepared a db-4.5.20 package. Are there any objections
to upload this ?

Ciao
  Volker

Your packages are known to be well packed, but I think a quick ITP
wouldn't hurt.  Thanks for doing this, btw.

As for Gerrit's db packages, would you be willing to take over
maintainership of them?  It would be good for the records to have
an active maintainer and I didn't see any problems with these
packages so far.  There's also the question if some of them could
be obsoleted, something I have no idea about.

In lack of public web space I have temporarily uploaded the packages to sourceware

 o sourceware.org:/home/vzell/db

If everything looks good, you can move them to the release directory.
Right now I'm using more or less the same build script as Gerrit.

Ok.

I think there are still packages around which require specific versions
of berkdb. When I have time I can repackage the db packages to use
alternatives. db-2 and db-3.1 should also be repackaged to use /usr/share/doc
instead of /usr/doc, so that we can get rid of /usr/doc one day.

For some reason, the contents of

usr/share/doc/db-4.5.20/docs/utility/

show up in the -devel package, instead of in the "main" package with all 
of the other documentation.  Other than that, everything looks fine to me

Looks good to me, except of the "external-source" entry in libdb4.5
and libdb4.5-devel, which point to "db", rather than "db4.5".

You mean, like a shuriken? :-)

I don't have a fat one.  I do have a spinning one, which, unfortunately,
is a GIF.  I'm going with a PNG instead: <http://cygwin.com/goldstars/#VZ>.

Oh no, please don't do it that way :)

That's fine, thanks.

Something to consider for later: I think Yaakov has some cygport-ed 
versions of berkdb over at cygports (and in any case, the CVS versions 
of the cygport tool itself define a new berkdb cygclass).  When you 
scrape together enough roundtuits, you might look at that if you want to 
move away from the g-b-s-based build scripts.
