I noticed we got a db4 port, which installs bdb 4.3.29 and a db43
port

Now I'm asking if we can either
a) remove db4 completely and upgrade ports depending on it to a
specific
version db4[1-6]
or
b) make db4 some sort of meta port depending on the latest
version of
db4x only without intalling anything.
What do you think?
I'm in favor of removing db4 completely and fixing the ports that
depend on it to depend instead on db43 so nothing breaks.
+1 Except that if the port supports db44, then the ports should be
updated to use that.
That's a separate task. Here, we should only be concerning ourselves
with the fact that we have two similar ports which install the same
software. We should replace all usage of db4 with db43 and delete db4.
Completely separately and unrelatedly, port authors are free to
upgrade their db4/db43 ports to db44, db45 or db46 if they desire.
