Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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 ), 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 )? 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?
