https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D248415 --- Comment #2 from Yasuhiro KIMURA <yasu@utahime.org> --- (In reply to VVD from comment #1) It's a bit difficult to answer. What I can say is * Neither format of database file nor log file is changed between 6.2 and 1= 8.1. * Berkeley DB has been developed so it keeps backward compatibility of API.= So source code that can be compiled with 6.2 should also be compiled with 18.1 * However, sometimes problem happens beyond scope of API compatibility. One= of such cases is databases/ruby-bdb port. Because it it Ruby port it uses extconf.rb as configuration script. But one of them included in source arch= ive doesn't consider case that major version of Berkeley DB has two or more dig= its. As a result it fails to configure with 18.1 and need to be patched. So I wouldn't be surprised even if there are another one that fails to build with 18.1 for similar reason. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
