There are rumours about db 6 release soon...ish.

Also db migrations are really not easy, so I wouldn't rush it.

Could you please describe your motivation to bump minor db version?

[CSRedRat (csredrat)]

I only for, if version 6 really on the way. Motivation consists in creation of the modern, powerful, fast, functional and best distribution kit :)

[Ondřej Surý (ondrej)]

Then don't do the transition (yet). Upgrading to latest Berkeley DB just for the sake of upgrading is really horrible idea.

Released! http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/berkeleydb/downloads/index.html
Berkeley DB 11gR2 (11.2.6.0.19)
Berkeley DB 6.0.19
http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/berkeleydb/html/changelog_6_0.html
From: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu

[Ondřej Surý (ondrej)]

Already packaged: http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/db6.0_6.0.19-1.html

Anyway I still think the transitition to 6.0 is a post-saucy material as the Berkeley DB transitions tend to break a lot of stuff.

[CSRedRat (csredrat)]

Include package 6.0?

[Ondřej Surý (ondrej)]

db6.0 switched to AGPLv3 licensing and thus it's incompatible with lot of software now. Thus this is probably going to be the last used version of Berkeley DB in any Linux distribution (or *BSD).

Sad :( Thx!
