Hi, I am currently thinking about upgrading our bdb packages to a new release. For that I just submitted libdb-4_8 (containing db-4.8.30) to devel:libraries:c_c++. Would be nice if somebody with sufficient privileges in devel:libraries:c_c++ could accept submit request #48969. The next step would be integration into Factory by submitting it to Factory and adding "Provides: libdb-devel" to libdb-4_8-devel while removing it from libdb-4_5-devel (I guess we still need to keep libdb-4_5 around for some time) to make depended packages build against the new Version. But as history has shown libdb version updates can be a source of trouble so I'd like to ask what the best aproach would be to integrate it into Factory. In the pre-Buildservice times we had the "BETA" distribution to test those bigger changes. How is it handled nowadays? Is openSUSE:Factory:Staging comparable to BETA? BTW, while there are even newer Versions available (db-5.1.19 being the most recent one, released a few days ago) I decided to take the 4.8.X Version for now. The main reason for that is that e.g. OpenLDAP (which relies heavily on bdb) does not yet support any 5.X version. While 4.8.30 has proven to be pretty solid already. -- regards, Ralf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
