Description Pavel Timofeev 2014-02-04 08:40:00 UTC 
According to 20131216 from /usr/ports/UPDATING, devel/apr1 should use databases/db5 or databases/db6 as dependency now, not databases/db42 or other databases/db4*.

Hi Timofeev,

devel/apr1 can use any Berkeley db starting from db42.

The the line 'USE_BDB=42+' is technical correct, but I see your intention.

Indeed Berkeley db is optional for apr.
In case you don't run subversion with a Berkeley DB backend or use the htdbm
utility explicit to create bdb databases it is save to switch this option to
OFF.

The correct way to use a higher DB version is
- using WITH_BDB_VER=XX in etc/make.conf
- install a higher version before building apr then this version is selected
- bumping the default version in Mk/bsd.database.mk

Hi, Olli! Thank you for your reply!
I know about WITH_BDB_VER=XX in etc/make.conf, but it's a kind of
disadvantage from the box.
I would prefer a solution that didn't make me add something to
/etc/make.conf, because I don't care about what version of dbd I have.
Just don't ask me and install that software=).
But, OK. This PR can be closed.
