Do you know of any simple APIs that can quickly dump fields in use
with BDB .db files? I have a hunch given the Ruby that I've taken a look at
with Portupgrade that something very inefficient's in play, but I want
to test my assumption first before jumping to conclusions.
I did a quick ports search and came up with databases/ruby-bdb1. I don't grok
ruby
but I've telling myself I should learn [sigh]. I don't know if this has a
simple
API or not; I'll take a look but I suspect it is probably overkill.
If this doesn't meet your project's needs I'll try coding something up in C. I
imagine we'll need some tools written in C at some point anyhow.
Thank you very much for the help :)!
Well, we'll see about how much help I can be; but I'll try. It's your project
so let me know what you need or don't need/want

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?

BDB-1 is an available option actually with the ruby tools. Try "make
config" in the ports-mgmt/portupgrade directory.
BDB v2+ isn't allowable in the base system because of licensing issues.
I already talked to Kris about it.
