Well, databases/ruby-bdb1 will not work because pkgtools uses the newer version of DB, Sleepycat DB 4.(2|3) I guess. However there is ruby-bdb that seems like it would be simple for someone who understands ruby. I've also noticed there is a perl and a python interface available as well. I wonder what the ramifications of the above are to the goal of using the bdb in our base system to add db smarts to the pkg_install tools in a way that will be complementary to exising tools?
