Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-perl (Nobody) <perl@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 285028: databases/p5-BerkeleyDB: update to use db18 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=285028 --- Description --- Port databases/p5-BerkeleyDB is still built using db5 which as deprecated several years ago. It works fine when using db18. It should be noted that db5 creates BDB databases version 9 but older versions of db5 created BDB databases version 8. Version 8 databases are not supported by db18. It is therefore necessary to dump all old v8 databases and recreate as v9 ones prior to changing p5-BerkeleyDB from db5 to db18. This PR should probably be added to the dependency list for PR 261523.
