Dear Package Maintainers
Sleepycat released a new version of its Berkeley DB, version 4.2. It is binary compatible with version 4.1 and 4.0 according to
<http://www.sleepycat.com/download/patchlogs.shtml>
but fixes some serious bugs on MacOS X with more than one processor. From
<http://www.sleepycat.com/update/4.2.52/if.4.2.52.html>
41. Fix a bug where Berkeley DB mutex locking code for OS X was not multi-processor safe. [#8255]
Therefore i think it would be nice if we could update all packages depending on db4 or db41 to db42. This is already in fink unstable and seems to behave well. I also discussed this in short on #fink with Max and he agrees that we should update to the new version.
The packages in question are (-ssl variants omitted):
apache2 apr berkeleydb-pm560 berkeleydb-pm561 berkeleydb-pm580 berkeleydb-pm581 bind9 cyrus-sasl2 drac1 drac1 gift-openft kdesdk3 lilypond lilypond-unstable open-cobol open-cobol openldap-ssl php4-apache2-ssl python23 python23-nox python23-socket-ssl python23-socket-ssl samba-ldap sawfish sylpheed-ssl
At least that is what a quick grep gave me.
Tell me what you think, Chris.
PS: Why am i bringing this up?
a) because i think it would help the "fink case" to upgrade
b) since i want to release subversion 0.35.1 (beta) which now recommends db4.2
