The problem is that db4 is still masked in portage because some packages |
| 10 |
won't build against it. There's a goal of getting all packages in |
| 11 |
Portage db4-ready, and we're nearly at the point where people building a |
| 12 |
brand-new system can build a db4-only system w/o any real problems. |
| 13 |
Then we have to come up with a good way to handle the people who will be |
| 14 |
upgrading w/o breaking their systems. We probably need somebody |
| 15 |
dedicated to working on just db4-related issues right now, but we don't |
| 16 |
have the resources at the moment. |
