I am planning to update databases/db4 to the latest release from
Sleepycat, which is db-4.3.21. Users with existing package that are
built against db-4.2.52 should note that this release requires updating
the log file format. The procedure to successfully update your packages
to use db-4.3.21 is given here:
http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/ref/upgrade/process.html
For software writers, the changes that you'll need to be aware of to
update your code to use db-4.3.21 are here:
http://www.sleepycat.com/docs/ref/upgrade.4.3/toc.html
Some packages will likely break in pkgsrc due to these changes. I'll be
fixing them as we find them in the bulk build results.
Cheers,
