Can someone please provide an update on the status of the following
two
open issues:
1: Is there a revised release of sendmail pending for use with the
Berkeley
DB 4.x problem, and have all the Berkeley DB issues been
resolved? I
am in a state of confusion about all this and very afraid to
touch anything
for fear of getting things out of sync once again. I really
don't know
what version of the BDB I should be running. I currently have:
berkeleydb4 4.2.52,REV=2005.04.28_rev=p4
berkeleydb44 4.4.20,REV=2009.07.28
sendmail 8.14.2,REV=2007.12.17
I previously suggested/requested that our berkeleydb maintainer(s),
repackage the "berkeleyedb4" package, to include the old binaries for
the shared libs, until they are no longer used.
This basically echos our "normal" policies about shared libs.
This policy is there to avoid having multiple packages with
one version each. Currently we already have multiple packages
and correct dependencies to each package version. There is no
need to put all in one package. Essentially, you say "go back
to the old scheme and let's see that we update all builds
to old versions". I fully agree to going back with correct
versions inside, but not as one package and links from other
packages. It is more difficult to package and maintain and
additionally bloats the system with all versions when you only
need one.
