Currently ports specifying USE_BDB=4X+ don't get db5 as a valid selection and try to install respective databases/db4X port. This could be "fixed" by using WITH_BDB_VER=5, but it would be nice to allow using the installed db port without requiring additional options.

Hi Yuri, thanks for the contribution, but I think we're not ready for this change yet. In fact, I made exactly the opposite change (opposite to what you are proposing), a couple of months ago, because the INVALID_BDB_VER and the version harvesting altogether, are not up to the job. I think we have several version-dependency frameworks in place that are more expressive than Berkeley DB's, and I'd like to see one of those adopted. Before we go that way, I'd propose to cut down on the number of Berkeley DB ports altogether. I don't think we need more than two, perhaps three versions in the ports tree. Best regards, Matthias
State Changed From-To: open->suspended More preparation required before this goes in; port maintainers need a way to specify a maximum version as well.

If ports break with db5, they need to be fixed, we want to weed out obsolete Berkeley DB versions in the long run.

State Changed From-To: suspended->closed Committed, thanks. I have reconsidered that if there are ports stating db5 were fine but is not, those ports need to be fixed.
