Folks, A thread on news.software.nntp got me checking into this, and now I've gotten very curious. From what I can determine, it looks like what is integrated into FreeBSD is Berkeley db 1.85 (in /usr/src/libc/db), although there is a port for 2.7.7 in /usr/ports/databases/db. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that db 1.85 is pretty widely known to be broken in a number of ways (see <http://www.sleepycat.com/historic.html>), and I'm wondering what it would take to get this updated to at least 2.x, if not make the jump all the way to 3.x (currently at 3.0.55, according to <http://www.sleepycat.com/download.html>)? On a related issue, as another Berkeley alumni, how easy would it be for Keith to get committer access to FreeBSD, assuming he wanted it (and doesn't have it already ;-)? Out of curiosity, is there a public list of all the people who have commit access to FreeBSD?
