https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=878089 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=878089#c3 --- Comment #3 from Jan Engelhardt 2014-05-16 21:21:05 CEST --- I dropped efforts on libdb{5,6}; it's not worth it. The way it looks, no distro will be shipping DB6. Projects, especially the bigger ones like perl, will likely want to not upset people due to introduction of a dependency on version 6 (which nobody is going to have in Linux-space). So everybody stays on the working combination they have, db4/db5, whose API is about the same as DB6.

From a build perspective, it won't be the distros to incur pain.

If it hurts - once it hurts sufficiently enough, that is - programs will (have to) stop depending on libdb. There is Howard Chu's liblmdb[2], whose API is also close to libdb, while at the same time provides a much[1] more efficient storage engine.

Also note that the AGPL was introduced with db-6.0.20, not 6.0. 6.0.19 is still under that BSD-3-ish Sleepycat.

Latest release(6.0.19) with sleepycat licence was deleted from the oracle web: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/berkeleydb/... For future reference, it can be downloaded from freebsd.org site and mirrors: http://distcache.freebsd.org/ports-distfiles/bdb/db-6.0.19.tar.gz -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
