Folks,
A thread on news.software.nntp got me checking into this, and now
I've gotten very curious. From what I can determine, it looks like
what is integrated into FreeBSD is Berkeley db 1.85 (in
/usr/src/libc/db), although there is a port for 2.7.7 in
/usr/ports/databases/db.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that db 1.85 is
pretty widely known to be broken in a number of ways (see
<http://www.sleepycat.com/historic.html>), and I'm wondering what it
would take to get this updated to at least 2.x, if not make the jump
all the way to 3.x (currently at 3.0.55, according to
<http://www.sleepycat.com/download.html>)?
On a related issue, as another Berkeley alumni, how easy would it
be for Keith to get committer access to FreeBSD, assuming he wanted
it (and doesn't have it already ;-)?
Out of curiosity, is there a public list of all the people who
have commit access to FreeBSD?
Thanks!
