Obviously, applications will expect to link against their favourite version of BDB as libdb.so - libdb.so can be 2.7, 3.3, 4.0, 4.1 whatever, it must work. > And, could you name a sample port that would benefit from the changes, i.e. > post a sample patch for net/openldap22-server or whatever port you like to > demonstrate the improvements. To show the full benefit, we'd need to work out the bsd.port.mk stuff first, which has not been done yet. It should ideally avoid all the .if ${WITH_DB_VER} == 4 ... .else ... .endif stuff in ports' individual Makefiles. I'll post a sample once I got around to that and have an idea how to implement the bsd.port.mk changes. -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
