Good.
The next step is to do
cd tests

This is how rpm is released: targeting a single version of Berkeley DB.
Other versions (back to db-4.5.x) will "work" but won't just compile.
The changes aren't hard, just subtle. The complexity comes in getting
the AutoFu to handle all possible versions of Berkeley DB as installed
on all possible platforms. That's a huge matrix to cover and test.

I think you should distinguish opinions about Oracle's web site from Berkeley
DB code.
Recent changes to Berkeley DB are timely, and active, and with interesting
and useful "features". Merging sqlite3 <-> Berkeley DB is a useful and
innovative change.
Note that there *is* ABI breakage between 5.1.19 -> 5.1.25. ALl that means
is that one MUST recompile *everything* that links -ldb in order to upgrade
from 5.1.19 -> 5.1.25. The issue is that an element was removed from
within an internal structure that has some profound consequences. WHile
annoying, its not a show stopping change or anything else: someone had
a brain fart. Ooops.

Yes I find the Oracle web site rather dreadful to navigate.
There's worse: Try finding something on HP or Cisco web sites sometime.

Yes. Still: Berkeley DB is best-of-breed and the newer releases are
both active and innovative in my professional opinion.
