4.3.28, so there are no API changes, and applications may be upgraded
by relinking against db4-4.3.29. We stop pretending to support a
"java" package option since we never even bothered with handling the
PLIST differences. Changes from version 4.3.28 include:
* The on-disk log format has changed.
* Add support for lightweight, transactionally protected Sequence
Number generation.
* Add support for Degree 2 isolation.
* Add election generation information to replication to support Paxos
compliance.
* A huge number of bug fixes, including eliminating some instances of
application deadlock and memory leak fixes.
* Some minor performance enhancements.
The Announcement:
Berkeley DB 4.3.28 is a patch release to 4.3.27, everyone is encouraged
to update to this version. The following have been addressed in this
patch release:
1. All patches for the prior version have been applied as well
as a few other fixes.
2. The product is available as a Windows x86 binary installer

configure script still used -pthread during the POSIX mutex test even
when we explicitly disabled pthread through CONFIGURE_ENV, resulting
in re-enabling pthread.
Bump PKGREVISION.
* Automatic initialization of replication clients
* Replication election process is now Paxos compliant
* In memory transaction logs allowing in memory databases
* Enhanced Java API nearly identical to that of our Java Edition
* Native support for sequence number generation
* Degree 2 transaction isolation
* Mutex statistics can now be easily gathered and recorded
* Support for Itanium2 chips running Windows XP
inter-process mutexes. In this case, we only care to use the native
threads. Bump the PKGREVISION since this means that non-native pthreads
platforms will no longer depend on GNU pth.
* Add a db1.builtin.mk file that detects whether DB-1.85 functionality
exists in the base system, and remove the distinction between
"native" and the other Berkeley DB packages -- we now refer to
db[1234]. This paves the way for any future databases/db1 package.
* USE_DB185 shouldn't need to be set by any packages -- its correct
value is now automatically determined by bdb.buildlink3.mk depending
on whether we explicitly request db1 or not. By default, if you
include bdb.buildlink3.mk, you want DB-1.85 functionality and
USE_DB185 defaults to "yes", but if you explicitly remove db1 from
the list of acceptable DBs, then USE_DB185 defaults to "no".
* Set BDB_LIBS to the library options needed to link against the DB
library when bdb.buildlink3.mk is included.
* We only add the DB library to the linker command automatically if
we want DB-1.85 functionality; otherwise assume that the package
configure process can figure out how to probe for the correct
headers and libraries.
Edit package Makefiles to nuke redundant settings of USE_DB185.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
intended transformation: use "rm" to remove an option, "rmdir" to remove
all options containing a path starting with a given directory name, and
"rename" to rename options to something else.
which are the full option names used to set rpath directives for the
linker and the compiler, respectively. In places were we are invoking
the linker, use "${LINKER_RPATH_FLAG} <path>", where the space is
inserted in case the flag is a word, e.g. -rpath. The default values
of *_RPATH_FLAG are set by the compiler/*.mk files, depending on the
compiler that you use. They may be overridden on a ${OPSYS}-specific
basis by setting _OPSYS_LINKER_RPATH_FLAG and _OPSYS_COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG,
respectively. Garbage-collect _OPSYS_RPATH_NAME and _COMPILER_LD_FLAG.
by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
