Description Bernard Spil freebsd_committer

USE_BDB	
If variable is set to yes, add dependency on databases/db41 port. The variable may also be set to values: 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48, or 51. It is possible to declare a range of acceptable values, USE_BDB=42+ will find the highest installed version, and fall back to 42 if nothing else is installed.

UPDATING 20140821
  The older databases/db4* ports providing versions 4.0 to 4.7
  inclusively have been removed, and 4.8 has been deprecated.

There's 
  databases/db48 (deprecated)
  databases/db5 (Oracle Berkeley DB, revision 5.3)
  databases/db6 (Oracle Berkeley DB, revision 6.1)

Whilst there, please update the mysql section as well, include the percona and mariadb versions 55p 55m etc. There are MySQL versions in there that no longer exist as well I think

Kind regards,
Bernard
