https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D226155 --- Comment #5 from Kevin Bowling <kbowling@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Thierry Thomas from comment #4) bdb48 is actually part of the official bitcoin-core wallet binary data form= at, not just a simple dep, so the dep on bdb48 is necessary and correct. IMO it will be necessary to maintain bdb48 in ports until we see some type of conversion in bitcoin-core, at least somehow for bitcoin if nothing else, b= ut looking at the deps it is also on the other cryptocoins in the tree for the same reason. So we need to remove that expiration timer. "Note: Enabling wallet support requires either compiling against a Berkeley= DB newer than 4.8 (package db) using --with-incompatible-bdb, or building and depending on a local version of Berkeley DB 4.8. The readily available Arch Linux packages are currently built using --with-incompatible-bdb according = to the PKGBUILD. As mentioned above, when maintaining portability of the wallet between the standard Bitcoin Core distributions and independently built node software is desired, Berkeley DB 4.8 must be used." What the above means is you can't open an existing wallet if you build and = link to a newer bdb, and if you choose a new version you're pinned to that versi= on for the life of the wallet. I imagine at some point BDB will be removed fr= om Bitcoin entirely, but that has not happened yet. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
