1 Greetings everybody
2
3 Myself and Pauldv have made the decision to move ahead with the next
4 stage of the DB4.1 support, providing there are no big problems raised
5 here.
6
7 This consists of removing the profile masks for sys-libs/db to NOT block
8 DB4.1 from being installed.
9
10 sample change:
11 --- default-x86-1.4/packages 26 Sep 2003 05:59:24 -0000 1.27
12 +++ default-x86-1.4/packages 12 Oct 2003 08:57:13 -0000

21 *sys-libs/pwdb
22
23 This change will only be made to the default-x86-1.4 profile for the present
24 moment. In line with this, sys-libs/db-4.1.25_p1-r1 will be ~x86.
25
26 As part of the testing for this, openldap-2.1 will have it's entry in
27 package.mask removed. openldap-2.1 requires db-4.1, so it's a good testcase.
28 PHP also makes a reasonable testcase, but look at the output to see which
29 version of DB it picks to install against. (For all testing, please ensure the
30 'berkdb' USE flag is on).
31
32 Non-x86 arches can follow thru with the same change when they feel ready for
33 it. ia64 appears to be already running DB4.1 and I haven't had any bugs from
34 them, so that's good news already.
35
36 A number of profiles (alpha, arm, hppa, ppc) are still limiting themselves to
37 DB3.2, and should at least move forward to DB4.0 on their testing trees. (see
38 bug #28328)
39
40 If any bugs crop up, please file them as new bugs, and make them block bug
41 #23571 (our tracking bug for DB4.[01] issues).
42
43 Here is the current state of profile masks for sys-libs/db:
44
45 Presently non-masked profiles:
46 default-1.0_rc6/packages:*sys-libs/db
47 default-ia64-1.4/packages:*sys-libs/db
48 default-ppc-1.0_rc6/packages:*sys-libs/db
49 default-ppc/packages:*sys-libs/db
50 default/packages:*sys-libs/db
51
52 Weird profile mask:
53 default-amd64-1.4/packages:*>=sys-libs/db-4
54
55 Normal profiles, all limit to DB4.0 as max:
56 default-mips-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0
57 default-sparc-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0
58 default-sparc64-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0
59 default-x86-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0
60 hardened-x86-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0
61
62 Current (I think) profiles that should be update to <sys-libs/db-4.1.0 at the
63 very least:
64 default-alpha-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
65 default-arm-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
66 default-hppa-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
67 default-ppc-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
68 grp-x86-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
69 selinux-ppc-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
70 selinux-x86-1.4/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
71
72 Old profiles:
73 default-1.0-gcc3/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
74 default-1.0/packages:*<sys-libs/db-4.1.0
75 default-ppc-1.0/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
76 default-sparc-1.0/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
77 default-sparc64-1.0/packages:*<sys-libs/db-3.2.10
78
79 Obsolete profile?
80 gcc33-sparc64-1.4/packages:*<=sys-libs/db-4.0.14-r2
