Description Gabor Kovesdan freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2010-07-11 14:20:03 UTC 
	Older BDB versions cause some performance impact in security/amavisd-new
	and probably in another software, as well. We could pull BDB 4.7+ from
	amavisd-new before p5-BerkeleyDB and let it use that but that only works
	for fresh install, in other cases we cannot assure that it uses a higher
	version, so it can only be fixed at the root. Besides, it is better to
	use newer versions for all dependants regardless if there are reported
	problems or not.

Comment 2 Olli Hauer 2010-07-11 22:51:02 UTC 
The following patch will update p5-BerkeleyDB to version 0.42

Additional 
- db50 is blocked since it is not supported at this time
- rewrite pkg-descr to match README off p5-BerkeleyDB


@Gabor,
maybe this is a better solution since a hard coded version off bdb
brings more trouble/conflicts than it solves.

I also read on the mailing list about amavisd-new and perf. issues with bdb
41/42 but the only statemant from Marc there was he runs successful on db47.
(Why not force in amavisd-new a higher db version with
INVALID_BDB_VER=2 3 40 41 42 43 50+ ?)

+================================================

+BerkeleyDB is a module which allows Perl programs to make use of the
+facilities provided by Berkeley DB version 2 or greater. (Note: if
+you want to use version 1 of Berkeley DB with Perl you need the DB_File
+module).

+Berkeley DB is a C library which provides a consistent interface to a
+number of database formats. BerkeleyDB provides an interface to all
+four of the database types (hash, btree, queue and recno) currently
+supported by Berkeley DB.

Yes, I also think ?= is fine.

Because it doesn't work as I explained before. This knob just prevents 
it from installing when no eligible version is available. Let's say you 
have db41 and db47 installed but p5-BerkeleyDB is built on db41. This 
know will just pass because db47 is there but still, you are using the 
wrong version through p5-BerkeleyDB.

Btw, apart from Mark, another amavisd-new/FreeBSD user wrote back to me 
in private that using db47 solved his problems.
