I only find two entries, neither of which seems to cover my situation: 20061130: AFFECTS: users of net/openldap2[34]-server AUTHOR: delphij@FreeBSD.org The default Berkeley DB version has been changed from 4.3 to 4.4, as suggested by OpenLDAP developers. 0060403: AFFECTS: users of databases/db* AUTHOR: swhetzel@gmail.com Most of the ports that depend on Berkeley DB have been updated to use Mk/bsd.database.mk. Mk/bsd.database.mk is used to include MySQL, PostgreSQL, Berkeley DB, and SQLite in a port. A quick Google search didn't reveal anything specific to FBSD and portupgrade on how to upgrade Berkeley DB. However I will keep looking. If you come across something on how I should update my systems to use the latest stable Berkeley DB and convert all dbs to that version, I'd appreciate the link. Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!
