https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D248415 --- Comment #4 from Matthias Andree <mandree@FreeBSD.org> --- Thanks a lot. I have not yet looked at the contribution in detail, so just a few thoughts ahead of time. I think we should go for db18 and then get rid of BDB6 as it expires. On Linux it appeared to me that bogofilter self-tests also passed against Oracle Berkeley DB 18. One thing I can say already is that we should re-investigate this part in bdb.mk: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D216943&action=3Ddiff#= Mk/Uses/bdb.mk_sec1 I introduced WITH_BDB6_PERMITTED at the time due to the more restrictive licensing (AGPL vs. SleepyCat license with the switch from db5 to db6) to a= void surprising people who run their BDB-based product as a service.=20 I now propose to *add* a new alternative WITH_BDB_AGPL_PERMITTED as an alternative because after removal of db6, with just db5 and db18 in the por= ts tree, nobody will be able to understand any more what the purpose of WITH_BDB6_PERMITTED used to be. WITH_BDB6_PERMITTED should then also emit warnings such that users migrate to WITH_BDB_AGPL_PERMITTED and after a yea= r or so we should remove the WITH_BDB6* stuff. I think the AGPL also requires us to mirror the distfiles while we distribu= te binary packages. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
