I know we and many of our commercial customers has rejected BDB 6.x because of the change, so we've been forced to 'support' BDB 5.x. Personally I would like to get rid of anything that has to do with BerkeleyDB, just to get rid of this or future license questions from customers. (But unfortunately I don't know what can reasonably replace BDB.) --Mark > Tim > ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org
