Why was Berkeley DB-6.0.20 reverted to Berkeley DB-5.3.28?

These both are way behind, Berkeley DB 18.1 (18.1.40)

This is not a true open source version.  Oracle is not friendly to open source.  In your link below you have to "sign in" to get the source code.

Berkley DB was at DB-6.0.20 in BLFS Version 7.5, WHY REVERT?

Because Oracle makes changes that break open source packages.

More BS,  Exactly which source packages are broken by DB-6.0.20?


I get it you have a hardon for Oracle
