Hello,

I'd like to start a discussion on changing the default BDB port from 4.1
to something more recent.

bdb version 4.1 was last released in 2002:
README: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.1.25: (December 19, 2002)

There are some ports which have an unexpected dependacy on bdb via APR
(apache22, subversion), which does is not wrong in itself, but is
somewhat unelegant (as a personal opinion of course).

I've found this previous discussion:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2013-February/081444.htm=
l

And while the argument seems valid, it also doesn't have an estimate of
which / how many ports will break with a more recent bdb.

Could an experimental port build be done with setting WITH_BDB_VER to
either the most recent 4.x version (WITH_BDB_VER=3D48), to the last
Sleepycat Licensed version (50) or the recent version in ports (60) to
see what breaks?
