developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

* Added support for Berkeley DB 4.4
* Fixed decondary key issue with recno databases
* Added libscan to Makefile.PL
* The logic for set_mutexlocks was inverted when using Berkeley DB 4.x
Bug spotted by Zefram <zefram@fysh.org>
* Transactional rename/remove added.
Patch supplied by Zefram <zefram@fysh.org>
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

Change log:
0.26 10th October 2004
* Changed to allow Building with Berkeley DB 4.3
* added cds_lock and associated methods as a convenience to allow
safe updaing of database records when using Berkeley DB CDS mode.
* added t/cds.t and t/pod.t
* Modified the test suite to use "-ErrFile => *STDOUT" where
possible. This will make it easier to diagnose build issues.
* -Errfile will now accept a filehandle as well as a filename
This means that -ErrFile => *STDOUT will get all extended error
messages displayed directly on screen.
* Added support for set_shm_key & get_shm_key.
* Patch from Mark Jason Dominus to add a better error message
when an odd number of parameters are passed to ParseParameters.
* fixed off-by-one error in my_strdup
* Fixed a problem with push, pop, shift & unshift with Queue &
Recno when used in CDS mode. These methods were not using
a write cursor behind the scenes.
Problem reported by Pavel Hlavnicka.
* 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.
